The 39 Steps
Richard Hannay, a mining engineer on vacation from the African colonies, finds London socialite life to be incredibly tedious. When a secret agent rushes into his room and hands him a coded notebook with information on the approaching commencement of World War I, he gets more than he bargained for. Within minutes, both German agents and British law are after him, mercilessly desiring the Roman numerals code, which Hannay feels he must crack personally.
