At the start of the First World War, Marthe Richard sees her parents arrested by German soldiers, taken away and shot.  When she loses contact with her fiancé, André, a soldier on the Western Front, the young woman hastens to Paris with one thought in her mind – to take revenge on the Germans by serving her country.  She is engaged by Commandant Rémond to work as a spy.  She is sent to Saint-Sébastien in Spain to make contact with two senior German officers, von Ludow and von Falken.  Von Ludow is easily seduced by Marthe’s charms and offers her work as a spy.  Having gained the confidence of her enemies, Marthe stands every chance of fulfilling her mission, to determine the whereabouts of a hidden submarine base.  However, von Ludow’s mistress, Mata Hari, sees Marthe as a rival and sets out to thwart her mission.filmsdefrance.com
