Bob and Jill Lawrence are on a winter sports holiday in Switzerland with their teenage daughter Betty. Their friend Louis Bernard is shot while dancing with Jill, and with his dying breath, he tells Bob of an assassination about to take place in London. Fearing that their plot will be revealed, the assassins kidnap Betty in order to keep the Lawrence's quiet. Bob and Jill return to London and take matters into their own hands.
