After the aunt passes away, Pauline inherits a substantial fortune but must follow a set of rules in her aunt's will. One of these requirements is that Pauline must become a successful entertainer, or else she will lose her inheritance.

Pauline's journey to fame is riddled with obstacles, thanks to her greedy manager, Koerner (Terry-Thomas), who will stop at nothing to get his hands on Pauline's inheritance. Koerner makes Pauline a star in Paris through a series of outrageous publicity stunts but never allows her to work outside of the country.

Soon enough, Pauline becomes restless and longs for more excitement. She meets and falls in love with Mike, played by Pat Boone, an American journalist who wants to expose Koerner's schemes. Together, they travel to Egypt, where Pauline agrees to perform in a film, unaware of Koerner's plan to kidnap her for ransom.

The rest of the movie follows Pauline's adventures through various locations, such as a desperate attempt to escape a collapsing pyramid in Egypt, being kidnapped by Arab bandits, and even surviving a shipwreck.
