Trouble in Paradise

When thief Gaston Monescu meets his true love in pickpocket Lily, they embark on a scam to rob lovely perfume company executive Mariette Colet. But when Gaston becomes romantically entangled with Mme. Colet, their larcenous ruse is jeopardized and Gaston is forced to choose between two beautiful women.

Gaston Monescu, a master thief masquerading as a baron, meets Lily (Miriam Hopkins), a beautiful thief and pickpocket posing as a countess. The two fall in love and decide to team up and steal a diamond-encrusted purse worth 125,000 francs from Madame Mariette Colet (Kay Francis), owner of the famous perfume manufacturer Colet and Co.
