Romance and intrigue are at the center of Black Forest Girl. An expensive necklace is loaned to an ice show performer by an enamored jeweler. The stunning piece accidentally ends up in the handbag of his secretary, setting off a chain of events and misunderstandings that lead to the Black Forest village of St. Christoph and the ceremonial waltz at the village’s customary Cecilia Festival.
