Maurice Castle (Williamson) and Arthur Davis (Jacobi) are working in the African section of the British secret services. As a Brit correspondent in Moscow reports to London that there is a leak in this section, Castle and Davis are secretly put under surveillance by their superiors. One of them, the sinister Dr. Percival, is convinced that Davis, a pound-foolish bachelor, is the one responsible for the leak.
