Abstract

Cloves Donahue, an actor, wants to find Mr Miller`s murderer - Mr Miller was the baker of his favorite cake. With the help of Leda Hamilton, a night-club dancer, he gets on the trail of a gang of Nazi agents who had killed Miller because he had refused to cooperate. When Hall Ebbing, the leader of the Nazi agents, wants to blow up a battle ship in New York Harbour with a motor boat full of dynamite, Donahue is the one who prevents it at the last minute.
