While holidaying in Switzerland, Bob Lawrence and his wife Jill are asked by a dying friend, Louis Bernard, to get information hidden in his room to the British Consulate. They obtain the information, but when they deny having it their daughter Betty is kidnapped. It turns out that Louis was a Foreign Office spy and the information has to do with the assassination of a foreign dignitary.

It is left to Jill, however, to stop the assassination.
