Holmes pretends to be a Nazi spy to aid scientist Dr. Franz Tobel and his new invention, a bombsight, in escaping a Gestapo trap in Switzerland. The scientist slips away against Holmes' instructions for a secret reunion with his fiancee, Charlotte Eberli, and gives her an envelope containing a coded message. Holmes breaks the first three lines of a cunningly modified alphabet substitution code, which are the identities and locations of three of the scientists. Holmes deduces the fourth line, identifying the scientist as Professor Frederick Hoffner (Henry Victor)
