Synopsis:
Iris Henderson, a young British woman, is coming back from her vacation by train. During her trip, she meets an older charming woman, Ms Froy. Suddenly Iris is hit on the head and loses her consciousness. When she recovers, she finds out that Ms Froy has vanished, while all other passengers deny seeing her at all. Iris is confused and together with the young musician Gilbert, sets off to find the vanished lady... This is an outstanding spy film, with much more humor than it is typical for this genre.
