While romancing a beautiful Russian countess, a captain in the Austrian intelligence service is assigned to capture "K-14", a clever spy who has so far managed to remain undetected. What the captain doesn't know is that he is actually closer to the spy than he realizes.[email protected]

On the 1st of August, 1914 the booking hall of Luxembourg Station is thronged with people anxious before the war which that day had been declared between Russia and Germany---a war doomed to engulf most of the other countries of Europe and eventually America as well---became an accomplished fact. A beautiful girl named Carla Vanitska---but that was not the name on her passport asked the agent for a ticket to Vienna and was informed there would be no trains to Austria. She settled for a ticket to Berne and her bank note was refused as the station was taking only gold or silver. It was then that a young Austrian Intelligence Officer, Captain Rudolph Ritter (Gilbert Roland), on assignment to find a Russian spy known only as K-14, stepped forward and helped her out of her predicament. The next time he saw her, she was posing as a Red Cross nurse but he was already too much in love to suspect her....till she walked right into a trap of his setting.—Les Adams <[email protected]>
