He meets Stella, a reporter, who does believe him, but she is secretly the mastermind behind the kidnapping plan.

With the help of his friends Martin and Mary, Tony manages to foil the plot.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Something of a variation on the usual Children's Film Foundation productions in that the villains are played straight: This certainly makes for greater plausibility, and despite some inconsistency in the playing and a rather feeble attempt af comedy, there is ample compensation in Judy Cornwell's splendid villainess and the suspense is quite effectively sustained.
