![]() Alicia then slips away from Alex's watchful eye and accompanies Devlin to the cellar, where they discover that one of the bottles contains not wine, but a mineral substance. Before the party, Alicia sneaks the wine cellar key off Alex's key ring and later passes it to Devlin. Some days later, Devlin instructs Alicia to throw a party and secure the key long enough for him to investigate the wine cellar. Alicia immediately inspects the layout of the house and learns from butler Joseph that only Alex has the key to the house's large wine cellar. After a brief honeymoon, the newlyweds return to Alex's house, where his domineering mother Anna views her new daughter-in-law with jealous disdain. Although stunned by the news, Devlin once again refuses to interfere, and a heartbroken Alicia agrees to the marriage. A short time later, Alicia pays an unexpected call on Prescott and Devlin and informs them that Alex has proposed to her. When a jealous Alex then questions Alicia about Devlin, she reassures him that the handsome American "means nothing" to her. Soon after, Alicia reports to Devlin, who is posing as a public relations representative, at a Rio racetrack and tells him with sarcasm that the lovestruck Alex is her new "playmate." Devlin reacts to the remark with disgust, but easily plays the part of Alicia's rejected lover in front of Alex.

The couple's newfound bliss is shortlived, however, as Devlin's boss, Paul Prescott, informs him that Alicia's assignment is to woo her former suitor, German-born Alexander Sebastian, and determine what his war machine combine is manufacturing. Devlin is skeptical about her reformation, but nonetheless finds himself falling in love with her. While waiting for her assignment, Alicia enjoys a romantic, carefree week in Rio and proudly tells Devlin she is a changed woman. ![]() The embittered Alicia at first rejects Devlin's offer, but eventually agrees to accompany him to Rio de Janeiro. ![]() Alicia, who has been hounded by reporters and police, is infuriated at Devlin and denounces him as a double-crossing "cop." Although Devlin disapproves of Alicia's self-destructive, promiscuous life style, he is confident of her patriotic feelings toward America, having heard secretly recorded comments she has made, and offers her a job infiltrating a Nazi industrial combine in Brazil. When Devlin flashes his official credentials, however, the officer allows Alicia to go without a ticket. Late that evening, an intoxicated Alicia takes Devlin on a drive and is stopped for speeding by a motorcycle officer.
