During the First World War, after hearing of her husband's execution at the hands of his superior the Austrian colonel von Pennwitz, Florence enlists in the French secret service to gain revenge. However her attempt to hunt down those responsible for her husband's betrayal leads her to discover that he is in fact still alive. His supposed death was a ruse de guerre. It is only with the Armistice that the couple are happily reunited.
