The police come by, asking Mona Freeman about her husband, Gene Nelson. After they leave, he shows up, asking Miss Freeman and her brother, Michael Goodliffe, to help him get out of the UK; he didn't mean to kill the guy. Goodliffe thinks the thing to do is to deal with the police, but Miss Freeman backs her husband. This leads her on a circuitous journey through the rather kindhearted underworld on getting Nelson out of the UK without a passport.

With John Bentley, Sidney Tafler, and Paula Byrne.
