English Summary:

In mid-August 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II, the editor of the New York Morning Globe, Mr. Powers (Harry Davenport), is concerned about the crisis in Europe, the growing power of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany, and the inability of celebrated foreign correspondents to get answers about whether war will ensue. After searching for a good, tough crime reporter for a fresh viewpoint, he appoints John Jones (Joel McCrea) as a foreign correspondent, under the pen name Huntley Haverstock.

Jones sails for England and arrives in London. His first assignment is to interview Stephen Fisher (Herbert Marshall), the leader of the Universal Peace Party, at an event held by Fisher in honor of a Dutch diplomat named Van Meer (Albert Basserman). Unbeknownst to Powers and Jones, Fisher is actually a German agent.

On the way to the party, Jones sees Van Meer entering the car that is to take him to the party, and runs to interview him; Van Meer invites him to ride along, but diplomatically evades his questioning during the trip. At the party, Jones meets Fisher's daughter, Carol (Laraine Day). Johnny at first rubs Carol the wrong way, but later in the film, in Amsterdam, they fall in love.
