A French novelist brings a Tunisian shepherdess to Paris, where she poses as an African princess to gain access to high society. Baker's fourth feature film appearance, a success in Europe which went unseen for decades in the US as a result of Hays Office censors refusing to pass the film due to the implication of an interracial romance.
