action

Mehemed Pascha wants his niece Kondja, who lives in Vienna, to marry the diplomat Achmed Bey, who is also there and who is still unknown to her. For her part, the niece worships a composer she does not know personally. The unexpected death of the pasha causes them, like Achmed, to return to Turkey. The will states that the two have to enter into a temporary marriage. So they get involved and experience that they really love each other, especially since it turns out that Achmed and the composer, admired by Kondja, are one and the same person. Of course, Kondja's uncle, who only faked his death, agrees with this bridegroom.

"Confusion, kitschy oriental romance and lush harem ladies in a 'modernized' film adaptation of the operetta by Leo Fall."
