Alicia Huberman is a frivolous girl who loves drinks and men. Her father was
a German spy in the USA and has committed suicide in prison.
Government agent Devlin, asks the girl to spy on a group of her father's Nazi
friends in Rio de Janeiro. This could be her chance to clear her guilty name.
The girl falls in love with the agent, but he seems to not be attracted by the
"easy" life she is living.
Alicia accepts the duty and she goes to Brazil with Devlin. There she meets
Sebastian, the head of the Nazis, who has been in love with her for a long time.
Devlin suggests the girl marry the spy and gain free access into his house,
so she does.
During a party, Alicia and Devlin finds some uranium dust hidden in
Sebastian's canteen, but now he has discovered Alicia is a spy and he starts
poisoning her day after day. The girl gets ill, but Devlin thinks she is simply
drunk.
When Alicia misses a meeting with him, Devlin reaches Sebastian's house and
saves the girl who is very close to death. The Nazi will now have some troubles
with his gang.

One of the most famous Hitchcock's movies where the espionage plot is mixed
with Devlin and Alicia's love story.
During each suspensefull scene they are involved twice: they could be unmasked
as spies and lovers. Sebastian character possesses the same ambiguity: he is
killing his wife because she is a spy and because she is in love with Devlin.
