Summaries

Olga, a Russian refuge from Bolshevik terror has joined the Soviet secret police, the G.P.U. to find the man who killed her parents. Meanwhile a young Baltic couple are caught up in the schemes of the evil communists. Very obviously a propaganda film from wartime Nazi Germany.—Ulf Kjell Gür

German film directed by Karl Ritter and released after the breakdown of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, it is noteworthy for the crude, heavy-handed depiction of Communists. Olga Feodorovna, a Baltic German, saw her family massacred by the GPU (the Soviet intelligence service and secret police in 1922-23). She joins it in order to track down the murderers.—ETO History Buff
