Description: In April 1946, Alicia Huberman, the American daughter of a convicted Nazi spy, is recruited by government agent T. R. Devlin to infiltrate a group of Nazis who have relocated to Brazil after World War II. Initially, Alicia refuses to cooperate with the police, but Devlin plays recordings of her arguing with her father and professing her love for America, persuading her to assist.
Devlin and Alicia meet at a racetrack, with Alexander Sebastian observing from the grandstand. While awaiting her mission details in Rio de Janeiro, Alicia and Devlin develop feelings for each other, though Devlin remains conflicted due to her past. Devlin is instructed to convince Alicia to seduce Alex Sebastian, a close associate of her father and a prominent member of the Nazi group. Despite Devlin’s reservations, his superiors insist she is suitable for the task, and he informs her of the mission. Alicia believes Devlin’s affection was merely part of his job.
Devlin arranges for Alicia to encounter Sebastian at a riding club. Sebastian recognizes her and invites her to dinner, expressing his belief that their reunion was destined. At the dinner, hosted at Sebastian’s home, Alicia is asked to memorize the identities of the attendees. She notices a guest becoming uneasy upon seeing a specific wine bottle, who is later escorted out and implied to be killed by the group.
Alicia soon reports to Devlin, remarking that Sebastian has become another name on her list. When Sebastian proposes, Alicia consults Devlin, who coldly advises her to proceed as she wishes. Feeling deeply let down, Alicia agrees to marry Sebastian.
