Trece maletas caras, marcadas sólo con las iniciales O.F., y un telegrama con una reserva llegan al hotel del aburrido pueblucho de Ostend. Todos los habitantes especulan sobre el misterioso visitante. El editor del periódico local aprovecha la ocasión y asegura que las maletas pertenecen a un millonario que está de vuelta a su hogar, y enseguida el pueblo rebosa de actividad. Se ensaya una fiesta y comienzan a construir un cine, una ópera, un ayuntamiento. En medio de una época en crisis Ostend vive el auge de la ciudad y se convierte en un símbolo para la economía mundial.

Harry Piel plays Harry Peel who receives an urgent telephone call from a friend who has returned from South America recently. The call is being made from the circus "Beely" and our hero arrives there too late to prevent the murder of his friend. Now Harry must find his friend's killer and go on a strange mission involving a hidden document.
The focus of the story is on the relation between the femme fatale and an escaped prisoner, who manages to save himself from the clutches of the vamp in the very last minute (no spoiler, the end of the film is missing!). A dream reveals to him the real nature of duchess Leda Orlonia/geisha/marchesa Rochefou, and he decides to leave the ‘woman with the many names’ for a kind-hearted and decent American girl.
