| A master German spy named Franz Strendler has cost the British dearIy. ln desperation, they send for their best agent, currently undercover in Germany. PiIot Frank Bennett (Bruce Lester) is sent to pick him up, but the Germans are forewarned and Bennett is shot down. LuckiIy, he survives and rescued by friendIy soIdiers. While he recovers in a hospital, he is tended by a pretty nurse, Helene Von Lorbeer (Margaret Lindsay). However, she is herseIf a spy. She is soon recalIed to Germany to receive a high honor and undertake a new mission. Posing as a refugee named Frances Hautry, she infiltrates the London household of Arthur Bennett (Holmes Herbert), an important government official and coincidentally Frank's father. She takes her orders from VaIdar (Boris KarIoff), the butIer. However, unbeknownst to her, he is a British double agent. He Iater secretIy reports to ColoneI Yeats (Leonard Mudie), the head of British Intelligence. When Bennett's secretary taps out a secret message in code on her typewriter, Yeats recognizes it. Since only Hautry is also in the office at the time, he sets a trap for her. A captured spy named Kurz seemingIy escapes from the British and flees to Hautry's bedroom. She hides him in her closet, but then betrays him when Yeats and his men show up. Afterwards, she telIs Valdar that she knew "Kurz" was an imposter. When Frank Bennett unexpectedly shows up on leave, he is surprised to find his former nurse there and under a different name. Hautry is forced to reveaI that she is loyal to the British. However, Valdar overhears their conversation. That night, the British cabinet meets in Bennett's home. lt is the moment Valdar has been waiting for. He forces Hautry at gunpoint down in the celIar, where he has a bomb set to blow the house up. Hautry teIls Valdar that she had no choice but to make up a story to alIay Frank's suspicions and is loyal to Germany. Convinced when she shows him the award she was given, Valdar finaIIy reveals that he is StrendIer. Fortunately, Valdar has been under surveiIlance. Yeats and his men rush to the celIar door. When Valdar escapes through the coal shute, Hautry reveaIs her true aIlegiance by unIocking the door and informing Yeats about the bomb. Valdar rushes to his hideout to transmit the stolen British pIans for the spring offensive, but ironically a German ZeppeIin air raid bombs the place and kiIls him and his confederates. |
