Marlene Dietrich plays Bijou who is featured in this movie as the woman men will fight for. The movie starts and ends with a big bar room brawl as men fight for her love. Bijou is ordered expelled from the island. This seems to happen over and over. She falls for the doctor on board the ship, Dr. Martin (Alber Dekker), but still gets off at the next island which has a new governor, so they might not remember her, and a bar where she use to sing.
In this case, Lieutenant Dan falls for upon first sight. On the other hand, Antro (Oscar Homolka) has claimed her as his girl. He is a known murdered and always carries a knife with him. The lieutenant decides to leave the Navy so she can marry Bijou. His family has a very long history in the Navy.
This movie ends the way it began, a very big bar fight as Anto and his cronies want to do the Lieutenant in. Bijou send him away, back to his ship, while she again is on a boat to the next island, and reforms her relationship with the doctor.
I didn't understand the bar room brawl at the first, as it opened the scene. I understood a bit more as the show went on.
