The 39 Steps
Richard Hannay, a mining engineer on vacation from the African colonies, finds the London socialite scene to be utterly monotonous. Yet when a secret spy comes into his apartment and hands him a coded notebook with information on the approaching outbreak of World War I, he gets more than he bargained for. Within days, both German spies and British law enforcement are pursuing him, aggressively desiring the Roman numerals code, which Hannay believes he must crack personally.
