Inspector Hornleigh Goes to It
Third and final film in the 'Inspector Hornleigh’ series of comedy-thrillers.

This accidentally leads Hornleigh and Sergeant Bingham (Alastair Sim) to a nest of fifth columnists when his dim-witted assistant carelessly talks to a girl in the cafeteria – and that night, news of Hornleigh and Bingham’s arrival is embarrassingly transmitted back to Germany.
