The film follows a penniless con man (James Remar), who teams up with the eponymous prostitute (Valentina Vargas).

In a sordid night club in 1920s Berlin, the penniless con man Andrei catches the eye of the fiery whore Pauline, known as The Tigress.

Underworld boss Harry considers her his property, but she spends the next two days in bed with Andrei.

To escape Harry's revenge, the two disappear to neighbouring Czechoslovakia and book into a hotel in the resort of Carlsbad.

Andrei's plan is to burst in and challenge the Texan to a duel, confident that the man would rather pay a large amount of money than lose his life, but on barging into the room he discovers Pauline has vanished.
