Synopsis
[edit]In a German car factory a worker named Doroschinsky is in fact a former Russian Grand Duke who fled following the November Revolution and is now living under an alias. When he meets and falls in love with Nadja Nadjakowksa, a beautiful singer and like him a émigré, he decides to sell the one remaining thing of value he has left - the famous Orlov diamond from the former Tsar's sceptre. The sudden reappearance of the valuable treasure leads to the arrival of a confidence trickster who claims that he is the real Grand Duke and the diamond belongs to him.
