In 1846 the actress Gloria Vane is the leading star at the Adelphi Theatre in London. She is in love with the destitute nobleman Albert Finsbury. He is leaving for Australia to become an officer in the Queen's Regiment of New South Wales, but promises her to be back after one year. His creditors urge him to pay his debt on 615 pounds before leaving. He gets a check of 15 pounds from his friend Bobby, but changes it surreptitiously to 615. After Finsbury is gone, the forgery is discovered. To protect him Gloria says in court that she committed the crime, and is sentenced to 7 years in the terrible Paramatta prison in Sidney. From prison she sends a note to Finsbury, asking for help, but he doesn't answer. The settler Henry Hoyer falls in love with Gloria. As this is a chance for her to leave prison, she agrees, but run away from him immediately. When she finds out that Finsbury is going to marry the Governor's daughter, she is heartbroken. Finsbury finds her and wants to run away with her, but she cannot love him anymore.
前半程是痴心女子负心汉，锒铛入狱为情郎，后来是负心汉良心发现，女主痴心已不再。剧情的转折不够合理，大团圆的结局虽然理想化，但也具有教育意义：监狱得新生，告别渣男才能再结良缘。电影全程展现Zarah Leander魅力，初登场时的一展歌喉还以为是Marlene Dietrich第二，却原来是“嘉宝”在德国。
由于女主角遭遇的接二连三的伤害和变故，这种大团圆结局一点也没有让人觉得暖心。
因为导演是霉国人……
7。更像英国片还是美国片，应该是美国片，反正不像德国片
