Women in the Night

Set in a German Officer's Club in Shanghai over a period of 36 hours, this World War II thriller examines the ways in which women became victims of the German and Japanese forces occupying their countries. Gordon Richards, Frederick Giermann, and Arno Frey appear as three top Nazi officers being pressured by their Japanese allies to unveil their plans for a weapon of mass destruction over 1000 times more deadly than the atomic bomb. In order to prevent the Japanese officers from watching as they unveil this cosmic ray generator, the Germans gather women from several of their enemy countries and force them to entertain the Japanese soldiers. What they don't bargain for is that these women will turn out to be smart, courageous, and resourceful fighters determined to break a cycle of exploitation that has become commonplace.
