Daïnah la métisse

Aboard a luxury transatlantic liner on which she has set sail with her husband, the mixed-race Daïnah flaunts her exotic and provocative charms. One evening, on the deserted deck, she amuses herself by flirting with one of the ship's engineers and then pushes him away, biting him ferociously. The following day, Daïnah is found to have disappeared overboard. The inquiry progresses very slowly but the husband, guessing at the truth of what happened, takes justice into his own hands.
