Timberlake, Oxford don on a visit to New York, and pretty much of a docile fossil, finds himself in an altogether unprovoked predicament which includes a corpse, a pretty girl with a pistol, and a German spy ring. A crosscountry runaround as Timberlake and the girl do their best to circumnavigate and circumvent the Bund band -- and do. Fast, frisky, and entertaining.
