Jean Murat, who plays the role of Captain Benoit, a French Secret Service agent, steals valuable German plans and is out for more when the Prussian staff puts pretty Erna Flieder (Vera Korene of the Comedie Francaise) on his trail. After getting what he wants by posing as a banker, he flees Germany with an innocent post-mistress whom he had beguiled in order to carry out his plan...

When daring Spector & Myznikov went so far as to enter the stores singly and have relatives and friends do the same and insist on buying records, alert Stalin Secret Police were soon on the miscreants' trail. They were accused in court last week of reselling their phonograph records privately to more timid Moscow music lovers who make their purchases in the safety of dark alleys rather than in the State Music Stores. The court sentenced Spector & Myznikov to seven years each in jail, gave their accomplice's from six to five years each...
