Director Géza von Bolváry delivers the finest entertainment here too! A heart-wrenching love story set against the wonderful backdrop of Constantinople, today's Istanbul! The story follows a romantic complication triggered by the arrival of the naval cruiser Frauenlob in Constantinople. To celebrate the ship's arrival, the local Consul General throws a massive gala. The Consul General is deeply in love with a beautiful woman named Frau Thormaelen (played by opera star Jarmila Novotná). However, complications arise when Frau Thormaelen instead falls desperately in love with a much younger Holger Rhon (Gustav Fröhlich), a handsome naval First lieutenant from the ship. The romance takes a dramatic twist when Frau Thormaelen discovers that her own daughter, Ulla, is also completely infatuated with the exact same young officer.
