Plot Summary:
The film opens with the Lawrence family arriving in Switzerland for a skiing vacation. While attending a public event, they befriend a Frenchman named Louis Bernard (played by Pierre Fresnay). However, shortly after meeting Bernard, he is fatally shot. In his last moments, Bernard manages to whisper some crucial information to Bob Lawrence.

Realizing the importance of the information, the Lawrences become embroiled in a dangerous web of international espionage and intrigue. They discover that a foreign group, led by the sinister Abbott (played by Peter Lorre), is planning an assassination that could have significant political implications. The couple's daughter, Betty, is kidnapped by the criminals to ensure the Lawrences' silence.

As they attempt to navigate the perilous situation and locate their daughter, the Lawrences find themselves torn between their parental instincts to protect Betty and their sense of duty to prevent the assassination plot. The tension escalates as they struggle to outwit the criminals and save their daughter from danger.

The climax of the film takes place at the Royal Albert Hall in London, during a concert.
