The nation of Marshovia finds itself in dire financial straits, so when wealthy widow Crystal Radek (Lana Turner) comes to visit, the King of Marshovia (Thomas Gomez) convinces dapper Count Danilo (Fernando Lamas) to win her heart and marry her, thus making sure that her fortune will continue to bolster the tiny country’s ailing economy. It’s a fine plan. The only problem is that Crystal seems to be the only woman alive capable of resisting the count’s considerable charms.
