Plot
In 1942, a small group of French Resistance members devises a plan to attack in the Moroccan city of Casablanca, aiming to undermine Nazi Germany's power there. While the French police officer Maurice Desjardins is enjoying himself with some girls, the Resistance group shoots a man in the port, seizing a briefcase containing crucial documents about the Third Reich. Nearby, Andre Kuhn observes the entire operation through his binoculars. Although he pretends to be a businessman, he is actually a spy for the Germans, a fact unknown to his girlfriend Teresa Villar, an attractive Spanish singer who works at the El Dorado nightclub and unwittingly becomes embroiled in the scheme.
