Married Apache dancers Fairbanks and Del Rio are booked into a Paris musical revue where the star of the show, Desmond, makes a strong play for Fairbanks. He tells her he is in love with his wife, but Del Rio sees him leaving Desmond's room. Suspecting the worst, she confronts Desmond, who is superbly hateful, and then departs in a rage. Later, the sultry star is found murdered with a knife belonging to Del Rio. This 1930s mystery is memorable because of the excellent performances of the three principals.
