O zfilmování stejnojmenného dramatu Johna Coltona usilovalo od roku 1926 několik studií. Cenzurní dohled však zůstával neoblomný. Předloha se zabývala prostředím nevěstince, mezirasovým vztahem, nemanželským dítětem, otroctvím bělochů v Orientu, vraždou, nymfomanií a drogovou závislostí. I první verze scénáře z roku 1941 byla zamítnuta na základě námitek proti "vulgární sexuální nevázanosti a nedostatečné přítomnosti morálních hodnot". Do filmové podoby se hra dostala jen v upravené podobě. Děj se odehrává v hráčském doupěti, jehož majitelka plánuje nemilosrdnou pomstu na svém domnělém svůdci prostřednictvím jeho dcery Poppy, vášnivé kuřačky opia a gamblerky. Sternberg film řadil mezi ta svá díla, u nichž "necítil příliš velkou touhu je obhajovat". Přesto jde z hlediska jeho tvorby o zajímavý film s dekadentní atmosférou kasin a opiových dýchánků.
