Women in the Night

1948 / NR / 93 min

A German officer's club in Shanghai houses a clique of top Nazi bigwigs who are entrusted with the protection of an ingenious invention of mass destruction - a cosmic ray generator that is 1000 times more deadly than nuclear weapons. The targets - all countries ranged against Nazi Germany and the overtly allied Japanese Empire. Japanese officer Col. Noyoma is aware of this and wants in on the deal, but Col. Von Meyer has no intentions of letting him have it. As a diversionary ruse, a group of attractive women captured from the targeted countries is ordered to entertain a delegation of Japanese Army officers under the eagle eyes of Frau Thaler on the night that the secret weapon is to be demonstrated. However, the Nazis have not factored in the individual perceptions of the mercenary Frenchwoman Yvette Aubert, the fiercely patriotic Chinese Li Ling, the incorruptible character of American Claire Adams - or the astuteness of their Japanese allies.
