While in Hungary, American crook Michael Nash (Conway Tearle) comes upon an idea for his next caper. He has seen a Gypsy mystic in action and thinks he can being her to the States and use her to dupe rich fools out of their money. And, at first, it goes quite well. The props he designed work great and folks are indeed taken in by the ruse. However, problems develop when Nash finds he cannot close the deal with a young heiress. She's just too nice and Nash feels compelled to let this fish off the hook. But what about Madame Zara, his medium. She's in love with Nash. And what about their confederates...they're not the sort to let this rich lady out of their clutches.

While the story is a big farfetched (such as a career criminal having problems with his conscience), the story is very good. I particularly loved the ending which seemed to tie everything together very well. Well crafted and well worth seeing.
