Madeleine steals a string of pearls in Paris and uses American engineer Tom, who is driving on his vacation to Spain, to get the pearls out of France. But getting the pearls back from him proves to be difficult without falling in love.
Editor's Verdict
"The provided plot summary for 'Desire' (1936) describes a crime/romance plot centered on stolen pearls and complicated travel between Paris and Spain. There is no mention of the Christmas season, themes, iconography, or plot relevance."
