Jaded nightclub singer Anni (Joan Crawford) in Trieste meets an eccentric count who rashly gifts her with a trip to a resort in the Alps and plenty of money to spend. Cloaking her true identity, Anni witnesses the virtues of rural life (as presented by charming local postman Franchot Tone), and experiences the vertiginous unease and dubious rewards of social-climbing.
