Plot
Disgusted that his fiance, Diane (Jetta Goudal) has been cheating on him, Karl (William Boyd) says he'd rather marry a "street walker" than her. To get back at him, Diane arranges for Nanoni ("Little One") (Lupe Vlez), a singer at a sleazy bar, to pretend to be a Spanish girl, from a convent, to fool him.[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0020074/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl Internet Movie Database]
