“A follow-up to the hugely successful Zu Neuen Ufern, again with Zarah Leander in the lead, as a Swedish woman who jumps ship on a tropical island (Tenerife-Puerto Rico) to marry the local potentate (Ferdinand Marian). The marriage is a complete disaster, and after ten years Zarah Leander is dying to get out, off the island, away from the sun and the heat. A plague hits the island, and her husband, a big plantation owner, tries to cover it up to prevent moves against his fruit exports. He dies, and Zarah Leander is rescued by a young Swedish doctor (Karl Martell). Sirk himself wrote the lyrics for the Zarah Leander songs, giving the film the same combination of songs plus drama as Zu Neuen Ufern."
