Lithe, lean Kay Francis stars in this piece of fluff as the lover of Cortez, a shady munitions smuggler who dumps her in steamy Rangoon, where she gets a job at a local nightspot run by Oland (in another of his bogus Asian impressions). She soon becomes the kind of local star Marlene
Dietrich used to be when dumped in exotic places by her various screen lovers. Later, she gets together with drunken doctor Talbot and they are soon in love. Cortez walks back into the picture and fakes suicide by leaving the porthole in his cabin open and an empty poison bottle on the table. But
Francis eventually puts real poison in his drink and he falls overboard, though no one see...
