A playwright called Ashenden is recruited by Colonel R., a British Intelligence officer. He is sent to Switzerland where he becomes involved in a series of adventures. In one he accompanies a man called the Hairless Mexican to Italy, where a Greek agent of the Germans is to be assassinated. In another he must persuade an Italian dancer to induce her Indian lover, a German agent, to cross the border from neutral Switzerland to see her in allied France, so that Ashenden can arrest him.
