THE COUNT'S RUSE
NINOTCHKA Yakushova is sent by the Commissar of the Moscow Board of Trade to supersede three Soviet agents sent to Paris to sell the court jewels of the Grand Duchess Swana, the agents having been persuaded by Swana's Sweetheart, Count Leon d'Algout, to suggest a fifty-fifty split with the Duchess who has applied for an injunction to prevent the sale of her gems.
Ninotchka refuses to deal with Leon; she is going to engage the best lawyer in Paris, but she and Leon, not knowing cach other, meet on a safety isle in the street.
