The Smoking Dog Cafe, where Lupe Velez sings, is the name of an actual Paris restaurant (Au Chien Qui Fume), opened in 1920. However, unlike the place in the movie, described as "the lowest dive in Paris," it was, at most, bohemian, and was in a respectable neighborhood.
 
Karl, a German diplomat in Paris, discovers that his fiancee Diane has been cheating on him. He tells her that he would rather marry a "girl of the streets" than her. Outraged, Diane decides to grant him his wish, and enlists the services of a Spanish singer/dancer from a disreputable nightclub to pose as a sophisticated, convent-educated singer, and surreptitiously arranges for her to meet Karl."
