Carmen, a maid, steals a locket belonging to the Aragon princess Maria Theresa and sells it to Gaines, a New York art collector, not knowing that the locket contains the clue to the Aragon family fortune's whereabouts.

Maria Theresa then goes to New York accompanied by her brother Don Luis to search for the locket. During many misadventures, which lead them to Kentucky and back to Spain, Maria and Don Luis are aided by Warren Jarvis in uncovering the secret of the Aragon family castle. Finally, Warren and Maria Theresa fall in love, and the Aragon family is reunited.
