Synopsis

Rand begins to write a letter to Anna, the Italian woman who saved his life during World War II. As he writes, Rand remembers the events of the past. An American spy working with the underground in Nazi-occupied Pisa, he seeks refuge at the home of a contact when the Nazis discover his operation. The contact is not home, however, and Anna, the man's wife, resents Rand's presence, but her son Paolo hides him in the attic. In exchange for her husband's protection, Anna has been having an affair with Klaus, the Nazi officer who is in charge of the search for Rand. Klaus arrives to make Anna's home his headquarters for the night, and Rand is unable to escape. Because he has not captured the American and is involved with the wife of a suspected spy, Klaus is relieved of authority. Although Anna has come to love Klaus, she is unable to betray Rand, and she sends Paolo to inform the underground of the American's plight. Rand manages to escape, but the Nazis pursue Anna; she is killed by Klaus, who wishes to redeem himself with the Gestapo. Rand, who returned safely to the United States, is unaware that he is writing to a dead woman.
