Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with Magda, she quickly falls prey to Bruno, a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution.

It's all right. We understand.

You're desperate.

We've all been desperate.

But I can help you.

I want you at the theater

tomorrow morning

to rehearse. Do you understand?

The other ladies will

show you how.

Yes.

You will see that my

concern is for you.

Ladies, and gentlemen...

I, Bruno Weiss,

welcome you to...

Bandit's Roost!

Come, take a trip with me and

my doves...

as we take you round the globe

without leaving the comfort

of your chair. Behold!

All the women of the world...

laid out before you,

for your viewing pleasure.

Each one a mistress of

the art of love in her own domain.

Straight from Zigfeld's Theater.

Meet the Lady of Spain!

Sample her spicy paella, Seniores!

Muy caliente!

There is Little Egypt!

All the mysteries of the great pyramid

will be reveled before your very eyes

by this modern day Cleopatra!

Or is it Miss Japan that

catches your fancy?

This Geisha girl has come from the

orient to tantalize the senses...

and sooth the white man's soul.

Find out how this Cossack of love

brought Napoleon to his knees

and made the

Kremlin quake with desire!

And there's Gypsy.

Oh Gypsy,

that turns boys into men!

And men back to boys.

Well gentlemen, we have

toured the world.

And now they're all yours,

right back here in America.

Lady Liberty!

Opens her arms to you.

And welcomes you to her

bosom of America.

That's a real beauty up there!

And now...

And now...

Get her ready.

And now...

Thank you, thank you, thank you so.

And stay right there, gentleman.

The big show is yet to come.

But first Please enjoy the dancing

talents of Henry the Hoofer!

Ewa, so you've got the

big show coming.

Drink this. It is

absinthe, it makes it easier.

Back on in two minutes ladies!

Just a little.

It looks like she drink

too much bar juice.

Well, she's a dumb Dora.

So what do you expect?

Of course she's going

to drink all the bar juice.

I feel bad for her.

Why do you feel bad.

Bruno can't take his eyes off of her.

Next thing you know, he

will be treating her like a princess.

What a production!

Young lady,

you were mesmerizing.

What?

Are you drunk?

Mister Weiss? Good evening.

My name is Oskar Straub.

Hello. Mister Straub,

the garment maker from

uptown, how do you do.

I was very impressed

with your show.

Thank you. I'm just

obliged for your high regard.

I have a problem.

Leo! This is my son, Leo.

Hello.

He needs care.

He's not manly.

I see.

We can definitely be of service.

Is there anything in

particular you like.

We can also provide

your son with a male companion.

No, no.

She's new.

She hasn't even shown herself.

I hate to disappoint.

She's strictly a dancer.
