This provided quite a decent part for Elissa Landi as the modern-day temptress "Myra". She's got a bit of a past, and so is unceremoniously expelled from British West Africa to the adjacent German colony - all whilst the Great War is looming. She's not exactly welcomed by her new hosts either, but luckily she has attracted the attention of a young solider "Erich" (Alexander Kirkland), a ten day whirlwind romance ensues and before his father "Baron von Sydow" (Warner Oland) can intern her, they are wed. The war comes, and she becomes embroiled in a secret espionage plot involving a map and another soldier "Kurt" (Paul Lukas) leaving the young woman with an whole host of divided loyalties... What is probably most striking about this film is the sight of Oland, before his "Charlie Chan" days, looking positively unkempt. Otherwise it's a pretty routine wartime romance with a tiny bit of a sinister plot to sharpen it up a little, but way too much romance and a dawdling pace to drag it down. Donald Crisp pops up too...
