Mr. Verloc, a cinema owner, is part of a gang of saboteurs in London.
He lives with his wife, Sylvya, and her young brother, Stevie. They know
nothing about Verloc's secret.
Scotland Yard assigns an undercover detective, Ted, to work in a shop near
the cinema and investigate the man.
The head of the gang assigns Verloc to put a bomb in the metro. The man sends
Stevie there with the "bag". The kid loses some time and he gets killed by the
explosion.
When Sylvya realizes the truth, she knifes her husband while he is in the cinema.
Before the police arrive, another bomb blows up the cinema and so the
proof of the murder committed by the girl is lost.

This is a good spy story in which we can find great suspense, particularly when
the kid is walking through the city carrying the bomb and then when Sylvya
manages to kill her husband, avenging her innocent brother's death.
