Plot Outline: A Scotland Yard undercover detective is on the trail of a saboteur who is part of a plot to set off a bomb in London. But when the detectives cover is blown, the plot begins to unravel.
Plot: Mr. Verloc is part of a gang of foreign saboteurs operating out of London. He manages a small cinema with his wife and her teenage brother as a cover, but they know nothing of his secret. Scotland Yard assign an undercover detective to work at the shop next to the cinema in order to observe the gang.

Crazy Credits: We know about 4 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
The title credits are sung bi-lingualy, some episodes being in Puffys native Japanese, others being in English.

Goofs: We know about 5 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Factual errors: The London Underground and tram lines had their own power supplies, both separate from the public system. A single power station failure could not affect all three.

Trivia: There are 4 entries in the trivia list - like these:

• Some critics objected to the way Alfred Hitchcock chose to end the sequence involving the delivery of the bomb on the bus. Hitchcock, stung by the criticism, is said to have regretted his decision. Nonetheless, the treatment is faithful to Joseph Conrads book.
• Robert Donat was originally slated to play Ted Spencer, but a prolonged illness prevented him from playing the role.
• Based on Joseph Conrads novel "The Secret Agent", this sports a different title as Alfred Hitchcocks previous film was called Secret Agent (1936), which was based on stories by W. Somerset Maugham.
