Plot summary

American heiress Kit Preston shares a home with her husband Tony in a prosperous part of London, next door to a building being renovated. Walking back through Grosvenor Square in thick fog, she hears a man's voice tell her she will be killed. In her apartment a gaunt man watches her, and a girder crashes down outside; Brian Younger, a contractor on the project, pulls her clear. The same voice then calls her telephone with the same threat. Neighbor Peggy tells Tony, who brings Kit to Scotland Yard, where Inspector Byrnes reads the complaint as a bid for her husband's notice. Kit's aunt, Bea Coleman, comes to London and hears the whole account from her niece.
