Mistaken for a spy, an advertising executive is kidnapped and escapes, only to be falsely accused of murder. While on the run, he finds romance with an icy blonde. Hitchcock's exciting -- and often funny -- film has superb suspense sequences, including an aerial crop-duster assault and a pursuit on Mount Rushmore.
