PLOT
In 1927, fleeing persecution, a Russian Jewish girl
named Fegele is bundled off on a boat to England. Fegele is re-named Suzie, sent
to a Christian foster home and to school where she learns to sing. 10 years
later she leaves England for Paris, where she becomes a chorus girl and
befriends ambitious dancer Lola. Together Lola and Suzie find jobs in a new
opera company. Suzie falls in love with gypsy horse-handler Cesar, while Lola
falls for Dante Dominio, an arrogant opera singer. When the German army invades
Paris, Dante and Lola immediately collaborate with the Nazis, while Suzie joins
Cesar and his band of gypsy musicians. The Nazis have plans to round up the Jews
and the Gypsies. When Dante betrays Suzie, Lola decides to leave him: she tells
Suzie that she will help them both get out. Suzie wants to stay and fight, but
eventually agrees to leave. Once in America, Suzie continues her search for her
father, which finally leads her to Hollywood...
