In the spring of 1918, the final year of World War I, a German U-boat stops a Dutch freighter on its way to Stockholm in neutral Sweden.

In Stockholm, Madeleine, who is a German spy, provides information to her contacts on Allied troop movements she acquired in Paris.

In the coming days, she continues to refuse his requests, even after he offers to purchase all the stock in her shop.

When Madeleine reaches Paris, she is met by a high-ranking French official who presents her with the Médaille militaire.

The next day, Bob arranges for Madeleine to be arrested by the Stockholm police, ruining Von Marwitz's plan to capture her quietly.

Greene noted that director Saville is capable of good films, but claimed that this time he had been "defeated by the incredible naïvety of [the] script".
