Eines Abends findet sich auch der amerikanische Nightclub-Tycoon aus Chicago, King Marchan, mit seiner hochblonden Geliebten Norma ein.

Trotzdem zieht es King immer wieder in die Show, und bald kommt er auch hinter das Geheimnis. Für Victoria ist die Situation nicht minder strapazierend, denn sie hat sich längst in den maskulinen King verliebt. Die beiden beginnen eine heimliche Liebesaffäre, die King in ein schreckliches Zwielicht bringt.
