Summary
Cyril Mansfield, a British operative, skillfully infiltrates the German Secret Service, operating as a double agent while clandestinely serving his homeland. His intricate assignment involves disseminating strategically fabricated intelligence to the Imperial German Government. This high-stakes game of deception is further complicated by Lois, an American woman with whom Cyril shares a burgeoning affection, and who is simultaneously pursued by Rizzio, a fellow double agent harboring deep suspicions about Cyril’s true allegiances to Germany. In a calculated maneuver to deliver crucial misinformation, Cyril embarks for Germany, accompanied by his steadfast mechanic, Handy, and Lois. However, the mission takes a perilous turn when Lois is forcibly abducted by Rizzio, transported to headquarters via U-boat, and, through an unfortunate innocence, inadvertently exposes Cyril’s covert role. Both are subsequently condemned to death. Rizzio, feigning assistance, attempts to lure Lois into a diplomatic mission, yet Cyril and Handy, demonstrating remarkable resourcefulness, overpower their captors. The pair, with Lois, execute a daring escape, returning to England in Cyril’s private aircraft, leaving a trail of double-crosses and near-catastrophe behind them.
Synopsis
Cyril Mansfield, a handsome young Englishman, is associated with the German Secret Service as a spy in England but is loyal to British intelligence, of which he is a member. He is loved by Lois, an American whose favor is sought by Rizzio, also a double agent, who suspects Cyril's disloyalty to Germany. With the intention of conveying false information to the Imperial German Government, Cyril, accompanied by his faithful mechanic, Handy, and by Lois, escapes to Germany, though Lois is herself abducted by Rizzio and brought to headquarters in a U-boat. Innocently, she betrays Cyril, and they are both sentenced to death. On a pretense of aiding Cyril, Rizzio urges Lois to accompany him on a diplomatic mission, but Cyril and Handy overcome their captors; and Lois and Cyril escape to England in his aircraft.
