Stylish, sophisticated and absolutely broke, Dino and Maria pursue a romance until they realize neither of them has any money, which forces the gold diggers to turn their attention to a wealthy widower and his daughter. A compulsive gambler who owes several anxious investors a small fortune, Dino has trouble cutting his losses, no matter how bad the losing streak.

Plot

When Maria (Marlene Dietrich) meets Count Dino (Vittorio De Sica) gambling in Monaco, her losing night takes a positive turn. The two immediately take up with one another, but the affair is short-lived once Maria learns that the count is a compulsive gambler like her. Feeling the need for more financial security, Maria hooks up with a wealthy American and announces her plans to marry. But try as she might, Maria cannot shake her fond memories of the count.
