Storyline

In 1915, German Counter-Intelligence Chief Von Sturm learns that someone is providing the British with critical strategic planning for the Turkish theater. He suspects Ali Bey, Turkish commander for the Dardanelles, and dispatches Annemarie to Constantinople to secure the proof. En route she becomes involved with Douglas Beall, a footloose American. Complications ensue, requiring Annemarie to engage in some dangerous improvisations.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In the scene where Annemarie tells Von Sturm of her recent exploits as she prepares to bathe, the slip she is wearing is so sheer that it becomes see-through. This was not unusual for the pre-code era during which the production was filmed, but would have been considered too risque for a movie of the post-code era which immediately followed. See more » |
| Goofs | The film takes place in 1915, yet refers to Mata Hari being caught and executed. Mata Hari was not arrested until 13 February 1917, and executed on 15 October 1917. See more » |
