Set during World War I, this comedy follows the pompous Lord Augustus Highcastle as he faces off against a cunning female spy. When a glamorous woman arrives seeking an important military document, Augustus must prove he cannot be easily duped. Through flattery and deception, the encounter tests whether aristocratic pride can match clever manipulation in matters of wartime espionage.
