Pendant la Grande Guerre, en Autriche, un officier est fusillé sur l'ordre de son supérieur von Pennwitz. Par vengeance, sa veuve devient espionné à la solde de la France, préoccupée de supprimer le responsable de la mort de son mari. Chargée de mission auprès de von Pennwitz elle se trouve brusquement en face de son époux bien vivant. Il s'agissait d'une ruse de guerre pour tromper l'ennemi. C'est seulement à l'armistice que le couple pourra vivre en toute quiétude.
Story opens in Switzerland in 1918 in the closing days of WW I and concerns Franck Villard, military attache to the Austrian delegation in Berne, and his French wife, Renee Saint-Cyr. Living in the netural country has enabled the two to evade any claims which their two countries might make on their allegiances. Suddenly, Villard is asked to perform a hazardous mission aimed at putting in the hands of the French some highly secret (and bogus) Austrian military papers. Later, he appears to have been double-crossed by his superiors and is shot as a spy. His wife, furious, enlists as a spy for the Austrians and returns to France. Later in Vienna, as a highly sucessful Mati-Hari, she learns that her husband is not dead as reported but, by then, she is up to her neck in espionage.
