| A master German spy named Franz StrendIer has cost the British dearly. In desperation, they send for their best agent, currentIy undercover in Germany. Pilot 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 friendly soldiers. While he recovers in a hospital, he is tended by a pretty nurse, HeIene Von Lorbeer (Margaret Lindsay). However, she is herseIf a spy. She is soon recalled 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 Karloff), the butler. However, unbeknownst to her, he is a British double agent. He Iater secretIy reports to Colonel Yeats (Leonard Mudie), the head of British lnteIIigence. When Bennett's secretary taps out a secret message in code on her typewriter, Yeats recognizes it. Since onIy Hautry is aIso in the office at the time, he sets a trap for her. A captured spy named Kurz seemingly escapes from the British and fIees to Hautry's bedroom. She hides him in her closet, but then betrays him when Yeats and his men show up. Afterwards, she tells Valdar that she knew "Kurz" was an imposter. When Frank Bennett unexpectedIy 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 Ioyal to the British. However, VaIdar 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 cellar, where he has a bomb set to blow the house up. Hautry tells Valdar that she had no choice but to make up a story to alIay Frank's suspicions and is loyaI to Germany. Convinced when she shows him the award she was given, Valdar finally reveals that he is StrendIer. Fortunately, VaIdar 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 unlocking the door and informing Yeats about the bomb. Valdar rushes to his hideout to transmit the stoIen British plans for the spring offensive, but ironically a German ZeppeIin air raid bombs the pIace and kiIIs him and his confederates. |
