A breezy 1930s mystery-adventure where a charming rogue outwits counterfeiters and skeptical cops, balancing wit, romance, and thrills in equal measure.

Suave soldier of fortune Simon Templer gets mixed up with a gang of counterfeiters who've murdered and robbed an European count of 1,000,000 pounds. He is aided reluctantly by Scotland Yard inspector Teal, who's convinced that Templar himself pulled off the heist, and less reluctantly by light-fingered Dugan and dizzy socialite Penny Parker.
