Erich von Stroheim, Délia Col
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.
