During a stopover in Zurich, the stewardess Erika Berghoff spends some time with the passenger Dr. Bordam. She already liked him on the flight, but now she has fallen in love with him. What she doesn't know is that Bordam is actually a prince traveling anonymously and is already engaged to Princess Irina. However, when he learns later in the story that Erika is ill, he drops everything to visit her immediately. She feels better in his presence and both spend a wonderful, harmonious time in Italy, with their love really blossoming.
However, when Erika finds out who Bordum really is and that he is already engaged, she drops all thoughts of him and wants nothing to do with him anymore. However, he has also fallen in love with Erika and is now leaving his past behind in order to spend the future together with Erika.
