Synopsis
Daniella, a beautiful model, leaves her native France for Italy and begins work at one of the leading fashion houses in Rome. Daniella and her employer, Count Castellani, are mutually attracted, and the Count's mistress, Esmeralda, becomes jealous. During a lavish party, Esmeralda tells the Count that she is pregnant, but he ignores her and continues negotiating to sell microfilm to Lanzac, an enemy agent. Esmeralda threatens to expose Castellani's espionage activities, and a few minutes later she is found dead by Daniella. Castellani hides the microfilm in Daniella's lipstick case. Another member of the gang goes to the nightclub run by Lanzac, and sells it to him. Daniella witnesses the sale and steals the microfilm, but Lanzac immediately discovers the theft and sends two thugs after her. She runs out onto the nightclub's stage, and the men strip her in full view of the audience. She keeps the microfilm, however, and returns it to Castellani, whom she still trusts. Daniella is pursued by Lanzac's agents across Europe. Karl, a journalist, helps her to discover that Count Castellani is really in league with Lanzac. Castellani and Lanzac are killed, and Daniella's friendship for Karl threatens to turn to love.
