Telegram For Mrs. Mooney

With only a telegram to guide him, Tommy Mooney leaves his Long Island home in search of his big brother Jack-a RAF Spitfire pilot missing in action somewhere in Nazi occupied Europe. Tommy cycles to the Brooklyn Harbor where he spots a yacht flying a British flag and stows away in a Louis Vuitton trunk-discovered only when the ship is mid-Atlantic. Once ashore, he heads for London where he enlists the help of Daphne Clarke-Jack's British fiancée. Making off with a speedboat, the two cross the English Channel, dodging German U-boats. Hope turns to foreboding as it begins to look as though the two are being deceived by the Gestapo-used in a plot to expose a Resistance network created to help downed airmen evade capture. "What a bleeding conundrum," says Daphne, as it becomes clear that by continuing the search for Jack, they risk the lives of many like him-as well as their own.
