French telegram delivery girl is kidnapped and ends up in South America,. There she works her way to the Panama Canal zone where she hopes to find some one to help her get back to France. She finds work in a saloon singing. She also begins to make the acquaintance of various parties from around the world, all of whom seem to have hidden motives for everything they are doing. And some one's motive includes blowing up the canal with the American fleet in it. Very good espionage thriller will probably keep you guessing for a chunk of its running time as to who is good and who is bad. Its a compact little film that spins out its tale in nicely constructed bits. It took me a little bit to get hooked, but once Marie got to Panama I was hooked and allowed it to lead me around where ever it wanted to go. Surprisingly good, it made me regret not having pulled it from my pile sooner. Grab some popcorn and soda and make a night of it.
