"For sheer entertainment value it still stands in the forefront of [Hitchcock's] work."— Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
While sitting in a London theater watching a man perform dazzling memory tricks, Richard Hannay and the rest of the audience flee after hearing a gunshot. As he leaves, he encounters a young woman who asks if she can accompany him. Fascinated by her apparent terror, he agrees. During the night, however, she is murdered in his flat, and he must avoid the police long enough to find the real killers and clear his name.
