action
The American Violett Jeffry owns a badly performing sports newspaper and wants to get her paper back on its feet. So she came up with an advertising trick: Violett donates $ 1,000 to anyone who finds her during a three-month trip around the world and takes her to the nearest US consulate. Frank Milton, a smart and handsome journalist, works as an editor for the competing newspaper. He really wants to get this price and preferably also the woman he has been keeping an eye on for quite some time, along with that.
Frank follows Violet across the globe. Both travel destinations are Arizona , San Francisco , Honolulu , Japan and China . Violett and Frank have to endure numerous adventures on their adventurous paths, and the young man finally saves the boss from the competition from many a dangerous situation such as a dangerous snake temple. In the end he doesn't get the advertised $ 1,000, but Violet Jeffry as his future wife.

criticism
“The success of the film shows that the artistic collaboration of these happily excited globetrotters Georg Jacoby, Alfred Schirokauer, Georg Alexander and the other partners who were no less involved in the success are absolutely right. It has become a lovely film, uninhibitedly colorful with all the beauties and accidental adventures of travel; a funny, brisk thing, pleasantly stimulating in its motley, not least because of Georg Alexander's delightful, always very fine, dry irony. "
Paimann's film lists summed up: “The subject of this film, the main strength of which lies in the variety of expedition shots, strange and exotic buildings, is no more original than similar ones of its kind seen earlier. He lacks the dramatic increase, and often the somewhat thinly sown humor here. Finally there are some effective sensations. The direction is satisfactory from the point of view mentioned, as is the representation, the photography is very good. "
