Detective Gilbert is searching for a necklace robbed by a gang of thieves.
In the beginning, the gang is in a house in London, then they are running
away from police.
It will not be easy for the detective to recover the jewel.

Nothing more to tell about the plot of this movie, not Hitchcock's best one
for sure.
It looks like a sort of experimental film, full with action. In the second part,
thee characters are running here and there by bus and then by a train
which crashes with a ship in London's sea-port.
