Jeannine Messmer is an heiress of millions and an attractive author who works as a poet. When she met the charming American Tom Fleming one day, she fell in love. For him too, Jeannie seems to be the dream woman. Tom asks the young writer to marry him after just a few days. With this proposal, the romantic Jeannine does not suspect that he could only be after her money. And besides, Tom is supposed to be a wealthy businessman who doesn’t have to aim for the money of the future when getting married.

So they both marry and spend their dream honeymoon in a lonely mountain hut. There Jeannine falls into a wild nightmare, which shows that she obviously has doubts about Tom's possible ulterior motives. In her dream, Tom is a cunning dog who is up to something against her. "Darling, I have to shoot you," is his announcement to get at your fortune. When Jeannine wakes up and finds out that this was just a nightmare, she is even happier.
