action
After 25 years, the American millionaire John Rick returns to his native Dalmatia . Once he left her at the age of 17 as a simple boat boy Ivo Maric, because he realized that he would never be good enough for the count's family of his great love Stella Monti. However, he promised her that one day he would pick her up on a white yacht. Now he has returned with his daughter Gloria and her friend Bob. Since he wants to see how his environment really treats him, John Rick gets simple clothes and goes ashore as poor Ivo Maric. He pretends to work as a stoker on the yacht.
On land he is enthusiastically received by his former friends and Stella is also delighted to see him again. She had married in the meantime; Pero, now grown up, is her son, but after her divorce she lives in seclusion with her two brothers Ruge and Mome in the family's own palace. The debt is overwhelming and the palace is threatened with loss. Stella would like to go to the USA with Ivo, but asks to think it over.
At first, Stella's brothers treat Ivo just as dismissively as they once did. However, in order to get another advance payment from their creditors, they ask him to participate in a hoax. He should pretend to be the owner of the American yacht and show interest in buying the Palais. Stella is appalled that Ivo is giving in to the fraud and announces that she is leaving him. The two brothers, on the other hand, are horrified when, at a staged dinner with the creditors, Ivo writes a check as John Rick and buys the palace. Both believe he forged the check. Stella comes on Ivo's boat in the evening and wants to speak to John Rick and ask him not to have Ivo arrested for check forgery. Only on board does she realize that Ivo and John are the same person, and she happily falls into his arms.
She actually wants to follow him to America, but decides otherwise. Her son Pero was originally engaged to the Dalmatian woman Marina, but then fell in love with Ivo's daughter Gloria. Marina, in turn, found a new friend in Bob. While Bob and Marina want to come to America together, Pero plans not to leave his home. However, since Gloria does not intend to turn his back on America, Pero would be left alone in Dubrovnik by her lover . Since Stella was once in the same situation and suffered from it, she wants to stay with Pero in Dalmatia. Only Gloria's decision to stay in Dalmatia with Pero solves all the problems - and Stella and Ivo step in front of the altar together.

Reviews
The Lexicon of International Films found: "Chance is directing a dream factory plot that serves as a pretext to present holiday delights, bathing beauties and hits in front of the decorative backdrop of the Croatian city of Dubrovnik."
In addition to the portrayal of Paul Dahlke, the films praised above all "the strange, sometimes melancholy, sometimes Mediterranean exuberant music".
