Uno scrittore americano è a Londra per lavoro. L'uomo è cieco e casualmente, in un bar, coglie brani di una conversazione tra due altre persone che alludono a un imminente rapimento a scopo di estorsione. Una delle due è una donna, di cui lo scrittore coglie anche il profumo. Lei sembra riluttante, ma l'altra persona sembra in grado di ricattarla. Con questi soli indizi lo scrittore si butta a peso morto nell'indagine nel corso della quale corre anche alcuni grossi rischi.
