The Red Spy

Crimea, Sevastopol, October 1920. During the church feast, an assassination attempt on Baron Wrangel takes place in the town's main square. Thanks to a "happy chance", Wrangel remains alive, and one of the attackers is captured and hanged by the White counterintelligence chief, Gaev.

Ella Ferrari gets assistance from Yasha Popov, a young agent. He is the author of all the poems she reads in the salons and falling in love with her. El Ferrari contacts the Crimean underground chief Kovrov - with him together they must arrange Wrangel's murder. Using the loyalty of Adjutant Spesivtsev and his sister Vari, El receives important information about the baron's treasury.

Wrangel is appalled by the news of the gold loss, he is preparing a massive counter-operation. All roads are blocked and patrols comb the forest. The Reds have to lurk in a cleft and wait for reinforcements. When the squad's fighters learn that there is gold in the boxes, distemper begins within the ranks. The commander kills the instigator of the riot.

Based on the coordinates of the U-boat, stands a mine from the Italian liaison and The Reds prepare an operation to intercept. It turns out that the coordinates were incorrect. The submarines are successfully destroyed by Ermler, right in front of their eyes. Now El Ferrari is facing a firing squad, she has failed two interrogations, and it's possible that she's a double agent.

Ermler is officially exposed by The Reds. He has been given a death sentence. All El was able to negotiate from Uritsky was 24 hours. She informs this to Max and says goodbye to him forever. On board Wrangel's yacht "Lukull", a reception is being prepared in honor of the English consul, in appreciation for his assistance. Gaev continues to "look" into Ferrari, but he has no evidence.

The Bolsheviks failed to transport a large shipment of gold abroad and they were revealed. Now, the treasury of Wrangel - could become money for the development of the Soviet intelligence network in Europe. The Baron considers to transport the gold to Constantinople, where it is easier to steal it and let it go. Wrangel's life is now on the line with this mission.

Wrangel gets the latest summaries from the front - The Whites are suffering colossal losses. The Baron commands them to retreat. The war is lost. The naval squadron is ready to take on board all civilian and military, first of all, the wounded. The course is now set on Constantinople.

Ella Ferrari, Yasha, Kurov and Saponov devise a plan to steal the gold. Alas, Ferrari's performance with "the crazy brother and miserable woman in trouble" didn't work. Captain Federicke refused to help. On the luck of the Bolsheviks, he turned out to have huge debts and for a hefty reward agreed to the mad plan of El Ferrari.

Max is offered to choose a mission in America or head a residency in Germany. Ermler and Judy purchase two tickets to New York first class, in a bridal cabin. El Ferrari transferred all of the gold into currencies across different countries on the island of Capri with Maxim Gorky, who promised her protection in European poetic circles.

The Ferrari publishing house in Berlin works as a cover, but Yasha is seriously carried away by local avant-garde poets, and even befriended a couple of them - Ternikov and Dago. El disapproves of Yasha's behavior, due to another conflict occurs between them.

Taking advantage of Günther's fascination with the ideas of fascist Italy, El Ferrari impersonates a Mussolini supporter. Stoltz agrees to help with the blueprints. Plus Ferrari covered all his debts. He and Yasha form Günther a workshop outside the city.
