In a pub, he overhears a conversation that he's sure is a plot to commit a crime. He informs the police, but they aren't convince, so he decides to solve the mystery himself. With the help of his butler, Bob (Cecil Parker) and ex-fiancee Jean (Vera Miles) he investigates. He is lead to the conclusion that the child of a rich person arriving on the Queen Mary is going to be kidnapped. The kidnapping occurs, but because of Philip's discoveries, the child is quickly recovered and most of the gang is captured. Philip believes the ringleader will come after him, so he sends Jean away, turns off all the lights, and confronts the person trying to kill him in the dark. It turns out to be a woman, whom he throws off his balcony to her death. All of this somehow makes him want to get back together with Jean. |
