I say, fellows, here they come.
Gangway for the bride and groom!
Make way for them there!
Oh, isn't she beautiful?
Dearest beloved, are you limping?
No, I'm not. It's just my funny ankle.
Your what?
I fell off a horse when I was little.
Then you didn't tell me everything.
Every time I get nervous,
I slip the shoe off my heel.
Miss Blake, you will remain after class
And copy your marriage vows 500 times.
Charmed.
Miss Blake doesn't live here anymore.
There's only a mysterious Mrs. Myles.
happy honeymoon, Professor Myles.
Best wishes, sir.
Good luck, sir.
Sorry, sir. They just
made their getaway.
Where are they headed for?
Well, do you know the number of the car?
All right.
Scotland yard extension.
Hello? Let me speak to inspector Beale.
This is the foreign
office. Peter Galt speaking.
Hello, inspector.
Pick up a car carrying
Richard Myles and his bride,
Heading for a continental honeymoon.
Should be somewhere
between here and Dover.
Don't let them leave the
country before I see them.
It's urgent.
Thanks.
But this isn't the lord Walden.
It isn't Dover, either.
What are you afraid of, Richard?
The Oxford sense of humor, dear.
It's deadly this time of the year.
They'll be waiting at the lord Walden.
Think of all the fun and games
You'll deprive them of.
Yes.
Think of it.
Well...
Good evening.
Good evening.
Careful, dear.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Ahem.
I suppose it's all right.
First door on the left,
Top of the stairs.
Mind you, draw the blinds.
What?
There's a practice blackout tonight.
Oh.
You mind?
Uh-uh.
"We always have to pay for all we have
"and what we hope to have.
"I hate to think of what the peace
"and serenity of our honeymoon,
Grabbed from a crazy
world, will cost us. "
What are you looking for?
April 2nd.
Oh, you remember that day?
"April 2nd.
"I met Richard Myles.
"He doesn't seem to have progressed
"beyond the paleolithic age...
15,000 years B.C."
Oh, but I...
I haven't finished the day's doings.
You can't finish it.
Why not?
Because it isn't over yet.
Who is it?
Mr. Smith?
Smith?
You've got the wrong room.
Oh, Smith!
Yes, this is Smith.
What is it?
It's constable Jones from the village.
Can I have a word with you, sir?
Right now?
If you please.
All right.
Mr. Edward Smith?
Uh, yes.
Could I trouble you to step
downstairs with me, sir?
This is no time for practical jokes.
This is no joke, missis.
It isn't very practical, either.
That just may be,
But I must trouble you
to come down, sir...
And come quietly.
Very well.
You won't be gone long,
will you, Mr. Smith?
Five years.
That's the maximum
for false registration.
You know, I can explain all this.
I'm glad you can.
You've given us a lot of trouble.
The whole police force
has been looking for you.
Really?
Well, you know what
college undergraduates are.
A bridegroom sort of has to
protect himself in the clinches.
We'd have had you before
if you hadn't changed cars.
That's what did it.
Did what?
I have to hold you, sir,
until a certain party
From the foreign office gets here.
The foreign office?
Wait in here, if you please.
He's on his way now.
In Paris, you'll make
your first contact,
Then go right into Germany...
Have a heart, Peter.
I shouldn't even be talking to you.
My bride's upstairs wondering
what's happened to me.
We both know what it means
If the Germans go into Poland,
And our information is they will.
Yes, I know, but...
It won't be easy to find this man.
People in Germany don't talk these days.
Even our own people will
only give you indications,
Never a word that
might incriminate them.
So you see, I need a fellow
Who's sort of bright and reads signs.
Thanks very much, but
this is my wedding night...
The man you're looking for
Has completely disappeared.
I don't know what his name is...
I don't even know what he looks like...
But if the gestapo have got him,
We may have to reorganize
our whole setup.
Well, we all have our
little troubles, Peter.
Good night.
I'm asking you to do
something of vital importance.
It's only fair to tell you
That there's an element
of risk attached to it
To both yourself and your wife.
The man you're looking for
new German secret weapon.
Secret weapon?
I thought that was just Nazi ballyhoo.
It really exists.
Ever heard of a magnetic mine?
No.
What is it?
Underwater mine
That attracts itself
to ships by magnetism.
It's an ingenious idea.
It's more than that.
Imagine what that could
do to our lifelines.
Remember the last war?
Yes.
How does it work?
I wish we knew. Find that man,
And he'll give you
the electrical formula.
Oh.
Then your scientists will figure
out a way to counteract it.
It's our only chance.
I believe you can make the grade
If you two are willing to take the risk.
Well, if I know Frances,
she'll want to help.
Anyone would in a case like this.
Thanks.
Don't let her know how serious it is.
Women are inclined to
overplay their hand.
Just tell her you're
doing me a little favor
By hunting up someone
we've lost sight of.
Oh, hello, dear.
Come on in.
Frances, this is Peter Galt.
Congratulations. I'm sorry I
couldn't get to the wedding.
I've told you about Peter.
We were undergraduates together.
Yes, I know.
Richard's very fond of you,
In spite of what appears to be
A rather morbid sense of humor.
She's lovely, Richard.
I'm sorry to intrude,
And I didn't mean to
keep Richard so long.
I was telling him my adventures
In trying to find you tonight.
I wouldn't have missed
hearing about them
For the world, but
if you'll excuse us...
Well, certainly, certainly.
Oh.
I suppose by now your confederates
Have moved our bed out of our room?
No, darling. You have the wrong idea.
You mean this isn't just
an undergraduate prank?
Oh, no, I assure you.
Peter had something
he wanted to tell us.
I know it's a bit thick
to intrude on your...
I mean, to intrude.
I had to catch Richard
Before he left the country.
But we'll be back in two or three weeks.
It's really nothing, dear.
It's just a little errand
that Peter wants us to run
While we're on the continent.
That's all,
Just a little errand.
You're from the foreign
office, aren't you?
More or less.
And you had the whole police force
Looking for us?
Not the whole force.
You want us to run an errand
for you on the continent?
Oh, Richard, we're spies!
I say, you're nothing of the sort.
I told you... we're just
running an errand, that's all.
Well, then, why all the hurry?
I knew you were going
To South Germany on your honeymoon.
There's a friend of mine there
Who hasn't written lately.
I'm worried about him.
I want Richard to look him up
As soon as it's convenient.
That's all there is to it.
Well, why don't you telegraph him?
I don't know who he is.
Oh, I see. Riddles.
It's very simple, dear.
There's a man in Paris
who's going to tell us
