Amsterdam

Jimmy, a racing driver meets Annette, a model from Paris at the Zandvoort circuit.

They both use their work as a means of escape, and during their brief affair neither of the two has the courage to be their true self. The subsequent series of misunderstandings between them causes Annette to decide to return to Paris when her work in Amsterdam is finished. In this process of growth, of reaching maturity, Jimmy loses not only the girl he loves but also his self-assurance, and he has no choice but to abandon his racing career.

Paul Flanagan has served an eight-year sentence for his part in a robbery.

After their heroic flight to the Dutch East Indies, they returned to Europe by ship. The last part of the journey, from Paris, was made by plane. At Schiphol airport, a grand welcome awaits them. This is followed by a tour through an equally enthusiastic Amsterdam.
