Lord Brasted oversees a postwar fund for displaced persons. His secretary, Derek Waterhouse, suspects Brasted of embezzling money from the fund and brings his concerns directly to the Prime Minister. This accusation sparks a libel case rife with complications: the key witness has died under suspicious circumstances in Prague, Lady Brasted—an old flame with her own agenda—may be involved, and Waterhouse is romantically linked to the prosecuting lawyer’s daughter.
