Full plot (contains spoilers)
In pre-revolutionary Russia, the young Chinese variety-show singer Hai-Tang falls in love with the dashing officer Boris. But their love is complicated when Boris’s commander, a grand duke, also takes an interest in Hai-Tang. Hai-Tang’s brother, Wang Hu, tries to fend off the grand duke’s advances and shoots at him in the process. Wang Hu is sentenced to death, but is spared when Hai-Tang declares that she would rather be exiled from the country along with her brother than become the grand duke’s mistress. In doing so, however, she also gives up forever the chance of happiness with the man she loves.
