This thriller directed by Robert Wise recounts a suspenseful story in which a woman spends time in a Nazi concentration camp. Victoria Kowelska (Valentina Cortesa) survives the ordeal, but after another woman in the camp passes away, a young mother with a son living in the United States, she decides to use the dead lady's papers and identity to relocate. When Victoria arrives in San Francisco, she discovers that the young boy is due to obtain an inheritance. The child's trustee, Alan Spender (Richard Basehart) wins her affections. Yet this gentleman, too, turns out to be concealing a double life.
