Ewen Montagu (Clifton Webb) comes up with a scheme to deceive the Nazis about the impending invasion of Southern Europe. It entails releasing a dead body just off the coast of Spain, where strong currents will almost certainly cause it to drift ashore in an area where a skilled German secret agent operates. The corpse will appear as the non-existent Royal Marine, Major William Martin, who is carrying false letters about a forthcoming Allied invasion of Greece.
