Film Synopsis
In 1918, Rudolph, an Austrian, must leave his wife Florence so that he can undertake an important counter-espionage mission. Some later, Florence can hardly believe the news that her husband has been shot under the orders of his superior, Colonel Von Pennwitz. Immediately, she sets out to find the truth so she can take her revenge. However, when she contacts Von Pennwitz she learns that Rudolph has not been killed. Realising that she has put her own life in peril for nothing, Florence takes refuge in Switzerland, where she will patiently await the return of her husband.© James Travers
