Phony spiritualist Blanche and her boyfriend Lumley are hired to locate a wealthy spinster's missing nephew Arthur Adamson, who she intends will be heir to her fortune. But Arthur and his girlfriend Fran specialize in ransom kidnappings. Hitchcock's final film is a light comedy-thriller, certainly among his lesser efforts.
