The documentary reconstructs the career of "Garbo," who formed the centrepiece of Allied deception and counter-information to have the Nazis believe that D-Day landing would occur in Pas-de-Calais and not in Normandy.
A number of individuals are interviewed including Nigel West (the pseudonym of intelligence expert Rupert Allason) and Aline Griffith, Countess of Romanones, a former OSS agent, as well as historian Mark Seaman, investigative journalist Xavier Vinader, and psychiatrist Stan Vranckx.
