Bei einer Notlandung mitten in der Wüste lernt die angehende Schauspielerin Barbara den Industriellen Thomas kennen. Nach ihrer Rettung leben beide bei Thomas in Berlin. Obwohl sie ihm ihre Liebe gesteht, bittet er seinen Bruder Werner, sich um sie zu kümmern, da er ganz in seiner Arbeit aufgeht und sich nicht binden will. Erst bei einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Bruder erkennt Thomas, wie sehr auch er Barbara liebt, doch sie hat ihn verlassen. Jahrelang sucht er sie vergeblich, bis er sie, verheiratet, in New York wiedertrifft.

After an emergency plane landing in the desert, the actress Barbara gets to know the industrialist Thomas. After they are rescued, the two live at Thomas' place in Berlin. Although she confesses her love for him, Thomas asks his brother Werner to look after Barbara, because he, Thomas, is consumed by his work and doesn't wish to be bound to anyone. Only after a fight with his brother does Thomas realize how much in love with Barbara he really is; but by that time, she has left him. For years, Thomas searches in vain for her until one day he meets her in New York ... where she is now married.
