Summary

Paris 1944. Justine is about to about to marry Jean, a member of the resistance, when the latter is suddenly arrested by the Gestapo. To save Jean, Justine appeals to her sister Juliette, who is the mistress of a German officer, General von Bamberg, to help her. When Jean succeeds in escaping from his captors, Justine mistakenly believes that this is through Juliette’s efforts and she goes to thank her sister. She unwittingly witnesses the killing of von Bamberg and ends up being sent to a Tyrolean castle to service the lustful desires of the Nazis. Meanwhile, Juliette becomes the mistress of the S.S. officer Colonel Schorndorf, a ruthless opponent of Hitler who took great pleasure in arranging von Bamberg’s death...
