Neglected by her detective boyfriend, Alice White agrees to an evening out with a polished artist, only to find herself at the center of a killing and a blackmail scheme. Anny Ondra is Alice, caught between panic and suspicion, while John Longden's Frank Webber works for Scotland Yard and suddenly finds his personal life colliding with his casework. In 1929 London, Alfred Hitchcock threads together flirtation, police procedure, and mounting pressure as a private mistake begins to spread through the city.
