But when arrives he learns that Line died under strange circumstances and attends his funeral. Then he meets Line's beautiful lover, Anna Schmidt (Alida Valli), a Czech refugee persecuted by the Russians, and major Calloway (Trevor Howard). The latter is a Briton who is convinced that Line was involved in a case of tainted pennicilin that killed several people in the city. Martins probes his friend's death by speaking with witnesses.
