Lowe plays a smart-aleck mystery novelist who agrees to board the Orient Express to get the goods on an arms dealer (Lukas) for a newspaper editor pal. But when his passport is lifted by a pickpocket (Gallagher), he finds himself forced to pose as the husband of passenger Evans, unaware that she's a reporter who's also on Lukas' trail.

This isn't a strictly an espionage film, it's a mix of adventure, romance, silly antics and comedy. The emphasis is on the latter. Actually more like a rom-com and features an enjoyable duo Edmund Lowe and Madge Evans, their banter and antics are amusing, however it's a bit slow moving midway and a little muddled and lacking focus. However, overall a pleasant viewing.
