El Dorado

Sibilla works as a dancer in a squalid Granada cabaret called El Dorado, struggling to earn enough to care for her sick child. The boy's father, Estiria, a prominent citizen, refuses them both help and recognition, fearful of jeopardizing the engagement of his adult daughter Iliana to a wealthy nobleman. Iliana slips away from her engagement party to meet her real lover Hedwick, a Swedish painter. After another rejection by Estiria, a desperate Sibilla sees a chance to blackmail him by locking the lovers overnight in their meeting-place in the Alhambra.
