When Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), a resistance leader to the German war effort in Europe, shows up with his wife Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman) attempting to secure the letters to escape the clutches of the Vichy French Police Captain Louis Renault and Major Heinrich Strasser of the SS, Rick is forced to relive his heartbreak over Ilsa all over again.
