Soviet agents contact physicist Hans Ritter and offer him his six-year-old granddaughter, currently living in an East German orphanage. If Ritter comes to work for him, the Soviets will release little Elke to Ritter's wife Emma. Perry agrees to negotiate the deal, but Ritter jumps the gun, forcing Perry, Della, and Paul to follow him behind the Iron Curtain and right into a murder trial: East German police accuse Emma of murdering a man named Franz Hoffer. Perry must defend her in a court where the usual rules of fairness don't apply!
