In between making horror pictures at this time, Boris Karloff made this spy movie and I quite liked it.
A female German spy is sent on an undercover assignment to live in London with a British official where she teams up with the butler there, Valdar, who is also a spy. While there, she helps him to transmit secret war plans back to Germany but are found out at the end and Valder is shot and the lady spy falls in love with one of the residents where she has been staying.
Valder is played well by Boris Karloff and the female spy is played by Margaret Lindsay. The cast also includes Bruce Lester and Holmes Herbert.
British Intelligence is worth seeking out, especially for fans of Baris Karloff.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
