at a dinner party, she meets a man named Frank Ryan and reveals how

helps her join the Office of Strategic Services-forerunner of the CIA. With a
code name and expert training under her belt, she is sent to Spain to be a
coder, but is soon given the additional assignment of infiltrating the upper
echelons of society, mingling with high-ranking officials, diplomats, and
titled Europeans, any of whom could be an enemy agent. Against this glamorous
backdrop of galas and dinner parties, she recruits sub-agents and engages in
deep-cover espionage to counter Nazi tactics in Madrid. Even after marrying
the Count of Romanones, one of the wealthiest men in Spain, Aline secretly
continues her covert activities, being given special assignments when abroad
