Pat, a girl newspaper correspondent, steps into the shoes of a murdered foreign agent, who had been impersonating her, and stumbles into a plot to secure a valued formula from the widow of a great industrialist. Kidnapped, escaping overboard off a yacht, shifting from Dakar to Rio and back, and finally netting of a group of Nazi ouhroat, with our girl doing some pretty amazing things in the process -- all this seems to make a pretty naive set-up for a thriller.
