Synopsis
1925, the age of prohibition. A sailor named Cornelius von
Zeelinga is on the run from the police, having just evaded arrest
whilst trying to smuggle a huge consignment of rum. A few months
later, he is back in Jamaica, a wealthy man and the proud owner of a
fine new boat. He has a secret passion for Linda Larue, a silent
movie diva, and will not miss any of her pictures for all the
world. He is so in love with her that he resolves to meet
her. Eventually, he tracks her down to Cuba, but it seems at
first sight that Linda is not the lovable kind. However, the
actress soon warms to Cornelius’s charms and decides to live with him
the kind of adventures that she has so far only experienced in her
movies. But love and danger go hand-in-hand for Linda, and
Cornelius soon has far more trouble than he started with...
