From the archive
In 1917 London, elusive German spy Frantz Strendler regularly accesses crucial British military information and relays it to the German government, with disastrous results for the British on the front lines. British intelligence subsequently scrambles to uncover the master spy, who is hard at work to expand his own reach. The film features Boris Karloff and Margaret Lindsay. This print (obtained from the Public Domain Torrents site) is brighter, less grainy, and has a higher resolution (720x544 vs 640x480) than the one already available on the archive.
