Storyline
Luis Vargas sends for American Julia Russell from Delaware to sail to his country Cuba to be his mail-order bride. Julia explains she wants more than a man who is only interested in a pretty face and that is why she has been deceptive—substituting a plain-looking woman’s photo in place of her own picture.
