Cleveland,
OH, USA -- In the spring of 1931 a conspiracy in Germany to
assassinate President Hindenburg and elevate the Kaiser's son to the
throne threatens the peace of Europe and sets off an epic quest to
discover the secret hiding place of the Spear of Destiny, the lance
which pierced the side of Christ. Kaiser Wilhelm II insists that the
missing Spear-a talisman of bloodthirsty conquerors from Constantine
to Frederick the Great-must be found and restored to his family.
Adolf
Hitler also deeply reveres Frederick the Great and wants the Spear
every bit as much as the Kaiser. So does Winston Churchill-growling
in the political wilderness-who has gotten wind of the two German
tyrants' obsession with the Spear and is determined to deny both of
them a symbol that has led in the past to so much bloodshed.
Churchill
enlists his Scottish goddaughter Mattie McGary, an adventure-seeking
photojournalist for the Hearst media empire, to embark upon a quest
to find the Spear and vindicate the vision of her late grail-scholar
father. He also persuades law professor Bourke Cockran, Jr., a former
military intelligence agent and Mattie's lover, to represent a US
company in Germany targeted by a Nazi extortion racket in Munich.
Mattie's
quest leads her to a mysterious villa in Egypt and then to a
stronghold high in the Austrian Alps where she is in danger from
religious fanatics sworn to protect the Spear as well as Hitler's SS
and the ruthless leader of her own expedition who is both secretly
working for the Kaiser and determined to seduce a vulnerable Mattie
who mistakenly believes Cockran has left her for another woman.
Learning that Mattie's life is in peril, Cockran mounts a desperate
airborne mission to rescue the woman he loves.
