Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Sola (Damia) is a Parisian cabaret singer, at present stranded in Singapore. For lack of anything better to do, Sola enters into a romantic relationship with Jeff (Henri Rollan), a French planter. Hardly the life of the party to begin with, Jeff withdraws deeper and deeper into his own melancholia the closer he gets to Sola. Finally he kills the girl then does away with himself. There seems to be no logical purpose for the existence of this film beyond the presence of popular French stage personality Damia, who admittedly is much better than the material she's given (though she's clearly well-past the age of her character).
