German Paul Lukas and his American wife Bette Davis seek refuge from the Nazis at her sister's house in Washington, DC. Lukas, a self-proclaimed anti-fascist, clashes with a Romanian count also staying in the house and working for the Nazis. Soon blackmail turns into murder, and Lukas must flee back to Germany. Stilted political drama, with Bette wasted and Lukas one-dimensional
