Pleasant Second Feature

George Brent is a British Army flier in South Africa. He is instantly smitten by Isa Miranda. She, it turns out, is stealing diamonds with John Loder. After Brent prevents Nigel Brice from arresting her by pickpocketing the diamonds himself, Bruce and he blackmail Miss Miranda into working with them to apprehend the others in the ring.

George Fitzmaurice's last movie is an odd grab bag of wonderful actors like Elizabeth Patterson, Cecil Kellaway and Ernest Truex, with occasional short documentaries on harness racing with ostriches and the washing of 'blue mud' to uncover the diamonds. It's a pleasant second with little relationship to anything, but directed and performed amiably by a good cast and crew.

George Brent, Isa Miranda, and diamonds

A pilot (George Brent) is taken in by a beautiful woman (Isa Miranda) who is part of a diamond smuggling ring. She is caught and imprisoned, but the police are more interested in her partner (John Loder).

Consequently, she is released from prison on the condition that she works with the pilot to capture the main guy, who also happens to be her boyfriend. They have to pose as man and wife. Can she be trusted?

Pretty good, but it's a story that has been done before in one form or another.
