- John Drake trails a foreign agent to Kashmir, hoping to discover how he is passing secret information out of the country. He discovers the agent's contact to be a woman named Louise Goddard. After paying a visit to the mountain dwelling where she and her husband live, his cover is blown, forcing events to a head quickly. Due to a health condition of Louise's husband, bringing him down from the mountain could be deadly. Drake must decide the best way to proceed.—Twenty Penguins
- Drake is sent to an Indian village near the border with China to stop a leak of information that caused many agents to be killed by Chinese counterintelligence. He follows an enemy spy carrying secret information, which passes on the info to a charming British lady, living up secluded in a nearby mountain, with her husband, Noel Goddard (played by Leslie Howard's son), another British subject. He turns to be the man passing the secrets to the Chinese, but he is also an idealist and a non-violent person, even though his actions had terible consequences for others. Out of dignity, Goddard does not intend to resist Drake and accepts to be taken down to town, even knowing that due to his bad health, that would kill him. It is a strange story, where dignity plays a background role. .
