Madeleine de Beaupré (Marlene Dietrich) is also off for Spain. She is a de luxe jewel thief and in her handbag is secreted a pearl necklace worth 2,200,000 francs. Their paths cross along the road, where he fixes her car; again at the border, where she slips the pearls into his pocket to get past the customs inspectors; once more in Madrid, where she joins her oily confederate (John Halliday).
