Synopsis

Pamela Jones, an American actress on holiday in Brazil meets coffee plantation owner Claudio DeSantis, falls in love with him and they get married. After living at his ranch for some time she becomes increasingly frustrated by Claudio's insistence of maintaining the old traditions. His constant absences due to his work also leave her lonely. In his absence, Gary Wills, another American, is trying to seduce Pamela, but Claudio returns and catches him. After a fight with Claudio, Pamela decides to leave him and to go back to New York. A Brazilian law however prohibits her from leaving the country without permission of her husband. Using a carnival procession as a cover she attempts to board a ship, but Claudio catches up with her and promising to be more of a husband, they reconcile.
