The 39 Steps
Richard Hannay, a mining engineer on vacation from the African colonies, finds London socialite life to be incredibly boring. When a secret agent rushes into his room and hands him a coded notebook with information on the approaching outbreak of World War I, he gets more than he bargained for. Both German agents and British law are after him in no time, mercilessly desiring the Roman numerals code, which Hannay believes he must crack himself.
