Synopsis
[The following plot summary is based on the English-language version of this film, The Devil's Holiday ; character names refer to that version.] Hallie Hobart, a man-hating manicurist in a western hotel, builds up a small fortune through side deals with farm machinery salesmen; thus she meets David Stone, the unsophisticated young son of Ezra, a wealthy wheat farmer, and leads him into falling in love with her. But his brother Mark comes to the city to save him from her intrigues, and enraged by his branding her a cheat, she plots revenge. When David proposes marriage, she accepts him. At the farm, Stone forces Mark to be polite, but Ezra is incensed to learn she does not love his son, and she exacts a price to leave them. Later, Ezra appears at her hotel, where she is holding a farewell party, and she begins to regret her action. When David begins to suffer from mental strain, Hallie returns the money, seeking his forgiveness, and they are reconciled.

Notes
Le fiesta del diablo is a Spanish-language version of the 1930 Paramount production, The Devil's Holiday, which was directed by Edmund Goulding and starred Nancy Carroll and Phillips Holmes. While the English-language version was made by Paramount in the U.S., all the foreign-language versions were produced at the Paramount studios in Joinville, France. In addition to the Spanish, German and Italian versions, which were released in the U.S., French and Swedish versions were also produced at Joinville, but no information concerning their release in the U.S. has been located. [For information on the German and Italian versions, please see the entries for Sonntag des Lebens and La vacanza del diavolo]
The French version, entitled Les vacances du diable, was directed by Alberto Cavalcanti and starred Marcelle Chantal and Thomy Bourdelle; the Swedish version, entitled En kvinnas morgondag, was directed by Gustaf Bergman and starred Vera Schmiterlöw and Paul van der Osten.
