The dilapidated ship belonged to her late father, and the girl cherishes a dream to save money for the restoration of the ship. One evening, on board her houseboat, she finds a stranger in her bed. An uninvited guest, George (Fred Liver), turns out to be a writer who wants to settle in these wonderful places. Marika is allowed to live on her ship for a few days. Hearing how the girl sings, seeing the cocona dances, George offers the sweet-voiced Marika to create her own open-air theater in order to restore the ship with the money received from the concerts. The success of this project begins to bear fruit, but one night during a thunderstorm from a lightning strike all the props of the theater burn. Marika is desperate. Friends rush to help the beauty, and together they create a new theater - the largest in the country. Thousands of spectators come to the premiere to hear the wonderful voice of a girl born on the waves of the Danube. Marika Rekk is an actress from whom it is impossible to take your eyes off. An exhilarating voice, beckoning glances, slightly provocative dances, risky costumes, immense coquetry, delightful legs - all this turned the head of the audience in theaters.
