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.
