Plot Synopsis:
During World War I, a mysterious German intelligence agent known as Fraulein Doktor undertakes a series of dangerous espionage missions against the Allies. Working alongside a team of saboteurs, she becomes involved in a plot to assassinate Lord Kitchener, steal Allied defense plans, and obtain the formula for a devastating new poison gas.
