Dr Ben McKenna is on a touring holiday of Africa with his wife,
Jo, and their son Hank.
They meet Louis Bernard on a bus; the next day tha man is murdered
in the market place, but before dying he reveals to Ben something on
an assassination about to take place in London; las Bernard's words
are "Ambrose Chapel".
Fearing their plans will be revealed, the terrorists kidnap Hank in order
to keep McKenna's silent.
Ben and his wife go to London searching for their child and they find
out Ambrose Chapel, terrorists' secret refuge. When ben enters the church
he is imprisoned by criminals.
Jo reaches the Albert Hall, where the assassination is about to be committed;
she was a famous singer and she cries loud just before the killer's shot: the
ambassador is safe.
The lady is invited to sing in the embassy, where the terrorists are hidden
too; Jo sings "Que serà serà". Mrs Dayton who is keeping Hank prisoner
is touched by the woman's tears and asks the kid to whistle his favourite
song. Ben hears his son and saves him.

This is the remake of 1934 Hitchcock's movie; plot is twisted and full of
suspense.
Sounds are a very important device in plot's develop: the killer's shot is
planned to be hidden under kettledrum's sound; Jo's song reaches
Mrs. Dayton heart and Hank's whistle reaches his father's ears.
