An Austrian dancer must flee to America after having spied on the Prussians. She and her American journalist friend stop at a small Western town, where she gets involved with an outlaw. The three of them move to San Francisco, where she then is courted by a rich Russian.
Very unusual film. It is almost universally hated by reviewers, though reportedly it did well at the box office. It acquits itself rather well in its creative mélange of several genres. Though it does not aim for laughter, the comedy label fits nicely to it. While not exactly an exciting movie, it handles well its theme of post-war social and individual challenges.
