Jean and Otto, a French newspaperman and a young German Francophile, are fighting for peace in Europe.

Jean becomes a big press baron and an ardent advocate of collaboration with the occupying forces, while Otto becomes the Reich’s ambassador in Paris. Corinne, meanwhile, finds herself thrown into the lion’s pit.
