The Green Glove

The teaser shows the gauntlet being returned to the church, triggering bells that are not supposed to ring yet. The priest hurries to the church, finds a dead man, and climbs the bell tower where the bells ring without someone actively ringing them. The gauntlet is found back in its place, and a jacket bearing a Los Angeles designer tag hints the dead man is Blake, the only American in the story.

Blake, an American paratrooper, is trapped behind enemy lines when he meets Count Paul Rona, who carries a mysterious valise. Rona pretends to be a reporter, then reveals he is an art dealer and offers the bejeweled green glove for Blake's freedom. A bomb drops from a plane, the blast knocks Blake unconscious and knocks the valise from Rona's hands, and Rona runs away, leaving Blake's fate uncertain.

Blake is brought to the Countess’s château with Armond and Pierre. Armond promises to alert the Americans about a coming German attack, but dies trying to get word out, revealing that the supposed attack was a deception by Rona. The Countess is left in shock, and Pierre shows Blake the valise, which Blake assumes is his; Blake decides to leave the valise there, and Pierre agrees to keep it for Blake to retrieve later.

Several years pass and Blake travels to Paris to retrieve the glove. A man trails him, and on the Eiffel Tower he enlists help from Chris Kenneth, a tour guide who is giving a tour. That night they meet in a nightclub and Chris becomes involved with Blake's quest, forming an uneasy partnership.

Blake and Chris encounter a dead man in Blake's hotel room who bears a drawing of Blake, linking him to the incident in Paris. Inspector Faubert questions Blake and wants to speak again, but Blake learns Faubert will be out of town for five days and decides to leave town, leaving a note for Faubert explaining his actions.

Blake is tailed to the train station by the police; Chris boards the train to stay with him. The tailing policeman is suddenly shot by Pepe, a henchman of Rona, allowing Blake and Chris to escape the immediate danger and continue their journey.

Blake and Chris arrive at the Countess's château only to find it damaged and deserted; Rona is waiting there and reveals that he had Blake watched in the States. He claims the dead man Blake found in his hotel room worked for him and demands the glove, insisting he will have Blake's cooperation.

Blake clashes with Pepe and makes his escape with Chris. Faubert arrives with a group of officers, but arrives too late to catch Blake, Chris, or Rona, allowing the trio to slip away for the moment.

Pierre reveals he has kept the valise and hands it to Blake, who opens it to reveal the green glove. The Countess recognizes the glove as the gauntlet of St. Elzear, drops to her knees in reverence, and faints. When she recovers, she understands that Armond is dead and the mystery begins to resolve.

Blake decides to value his relationship with Chris over the glove's monetary value. The plan is to return the glove to the church; Chris is to locate Rona in the casino and call Faubert to mobilize the police so Rona can be captured at the church with the glove.

Blake trails Rona along the goat track to the village and slips into the church, climbing the bell tower as Rona closes in. A tense exchange ends with Rona being shot by Blake, the bells are rung to signal his victory, and the glove is left in its proper place as the priest and villagers rush to the scene.

The police arrive and Chris emerges from Faubert's car to embrace Blake. Faubert confirms that Rona's men have been captured and one has confessed, clearing Blake's name. Blake and Chris walk away together as the church bells ring again, symbolizing a restored peace.
