Swank, cynical Prince Otto von Bismarck, grandson of the "Iron Chancellor," lives lavishly in London as German Charge d'Affaires with his moneyed and shapely Swedish wife. Princess Ann von Bismarck (Née Tengbom). daughter of a famed Stockholm architect. Last week Prince Bismarck was chosen by Chancellor Hitler to touch off a stick of disarmament dynamite...
