Plot

Gerald Meldrick (Clark Gable) and Anya Von Duren (Rosalind Russell) are a pair of rival jewel thieves at large in India. Both parties are after the same prize, a priceless diamond owned by the Duchess of Beltravers (Jessie Ralph). To inveigle their way into the Duchess' confidence, Gerald poses as a Scotland Yard detective, while Anya pretends to be an aristocrat. After working at cross purposes, they decide to team up, keeping one step ahead of a diligent police inspector (Matthew Boulton) and mercenary freighter captain Chang (Peter Lorre). Both Gerald (joining the Winnipeg Grenadiers) and Anya betray the nobler sides of their natures in the end, fighting in a pitched battle in China against the invading Japanese army.
