The 39 Steps

In London, the Canadian Hannay, who came from Montreal, flirts with a woman in the show of Mr. Memory, a man capable to memorize several information. When there are shots during the show, she goes with him to his apartment and tells him that her name is Annabelle Smith. Further, she says that she is a spy, and she shot in the theater to create havoc and flee from two assassins. She asks for a map from Scotland and highlights a location on the map. On the next morning, she comes to Hannay's room stabbed on the back and tells him that a man without the pinky would sell British secrets to a foreign nation, mentions the 39 steps and dies on his arms. He sees through the window that the two killers are waiting for him outside the building, but Hannay lures them and travels by train to Scotland. Meanwhile, the janitor finds Miss Smith's body in the apartment and the police declare Hannay wanted for murder. Chased by the police, Hannay finally reaches the location indicated by Annabelle and meets Professor Jordan. He discloses the events to Jordan and only after he notes that he is the man without the pinky. He flees hunted down by the police and the spies. When he meets the young Pamela, he asks her to call the authorities and tell them what he has just told her, but she does not believe him. But now she is involved, and the ring of spies want her too.
