Convent-educated Domini Enfilden (Dietrich) is advised by her Mother Superior to embark on a spiritual retreat in the Sahara. Instead of peace she finds true love and passion, in the guise of mysterious Boris Androveky (Boyer). Unbeknownst to Domini, her lover is an ex-communicated Trappist monk. Will his secret be revealed? Sumptuously photographed and among the earliest major productions in three-strip Technicolor.
