The Flame of New Orleans (1941)
In het midden van de 18e eeuw wordt er drijvend in de rivier de Mississippi een trouwjurk gevonden. Slechts drie mensen weten wat het verhaal vol verloren en gevonden liefde achter deze jurk is. De berooide gravin Claire Ledoux (Mariene Dietrich Morocco: Judgment at Nuremberg) kwam met slechts één doel voor ogen na New Orleans: een bemiddelde man trouwen. En na haar verloving met gentleman Charles Giraud (Roland Young Topper) leek alles volgens plan te verlopen, totdat kapitein Robert Latour (Bruce Cabot King Kong) opzichtig de stad komt binnenvallen, waarna haar aandacht zich door toedoen van ware hartstocht naar Latour verlegt. Hoewel er flauwtes en dubbele identiteiten aan te pas komen om de waarheid te vertragen en verhullen, ontdekt de gravin uiteindelijk wat echte rijkdom is: een hart van goud is waardevoller dan potten vol goud.
