Summaries

Storyline

Prince Wolfram is the betrothed of mad Queen Regina V of Kronberg. Supreme ruler, her word is law and he is a playboy. On maneuvers as punishment for partying with other women, he sees Kelly walking with the other students of a convent. He is intrigued by her beauty and wants her. He kidnaps her that night from the convent, takes her to his room, and professes his love for her. When the Queen finds them together the next morning , she whips Kelly and throws her out of the castle. Regina then puts Wolfram into prison for not wanting to marry the Queen. Kelly goes to German East Africa to visit her dying aunt and is forced to marry the disgusting Jan. Her aunt dies after the wedding and Kelly refuses to live with Jan and becomes the head of Auntie's Brothel. Her extravagances and style earn her the name 'Queen Kelly' and Prince Wolfram does not marry Queen Regina V. — Tony Fontana
