The opening of a museum in honor of the Venezuelan heroes of WWII takes Venezzia down memory lane. She recalls the arrival of Frank Moore, an American communications specialist whose orders were to protect oil tankers in the Caribbean from the threat of U-Boats and to discover the identity of a Nazi spy amidst the Venezuelan Army. Frank meets Venezzia and falls in love, but it’s an impossible love as she is unhappily married to Frank’s superior, Captain Salvatierra. Frank and Venezzia succumb to their passion and their plans for a new life change when Frank is accused of being the spy.
