Summary
Paris during the Nazi Occupation. A patrol of German soldiers
raid a house from which illicit radio transmissions are being

wife, Cora, manages to get to safety. Cora decides to have her
revenge by taking her husband’s place in the French Resistance.
Her first assignment, to steal the plans of a new missile, is a
success. Not long after this, she meets a Swiss journalist named
Werner in a café. She falls for his charms, not knowing
that he is in fact a German officer...
