This idyllic situation is disrupted by the arrival of Archduke Oliver (Lee Bowman.) Even though a personage of noble rank and title, Oliver has been ordered out of Vienna by Emperor Franz Josef for carrying on a scandalous love affair with Trina, a fiery-tempered little ballet dancer (played by real-life ballerina Irina Baronova.)

Later in the picture, Trina gets an opportunity to perform a bravura solo number from Delibes’ ballet SYLVIA, during a performance before Emperor Franz Josef.
