Several dodgy people are meeting each other in a mysterious house. A necklace was stolen, one or more of them are involved in this crime. The grotesque situation leads into a wild and action-packed chase between a bus and a train, which crashes spectacular in the harbor of London at the end.
Hitchcock actually did not want to make this movie. The original story, a play of J.J. Farjean was so bad and clichee-ridden, that he didn´t expect it to make a good movie. Hitchcock made a virtue out of necessity and produced a grotesque! The charm of the film is the completely insane and mind-blowing plot and the good action.
