Synopsis

In the cabaret Argel, the oriental dancer known as Mata Hari performs, but just before her act, she escapes with the help of her maid Guillermina, with an accountant, a gray man who will give her a quiet life, which is what she has dreamed of. Guillermina takes advantage of the circumstance and impersonates Mata Hari. On the other hand, Von Faber, head of the Kaiser’s counterintelligence services, goes to the cabaret to interview Mata Hari with the intention of taking her to a secret place in France where the Allies are testing a new secret weapon: a tank. At the forefront of the experiment are a Scottish technician and a Russian engineer, who, along with a Frenchman and a spy playing with five or six decks, meet in Argel.
