Nils Ahlen (John McCallum), a Swedish scientist discovers a sensational method to transform the impulse of sound into electrical power. The industrial and war potential of his discovery is enormous. His wife Helga (Mary Laura Wood) disappears with his young assistant, Sven Nystrom (Anthony Dawson) and secret parts of his invention are stolen. The Police Inspector (Jack Warner) and his force soon discover the escape route taken by the fugitives - towards the Northern frontiers. Eventually leaving the roads and marks of man-made civilisation, both parties take to the desolate, bitter and trackless wastes where Lapp tribes and their reindeer herds eke out a precarious living. Eventually the forces of the sub-arctic fall in favour of the hunters who, in a breathtaking climax, gain their quarry. Enjoy this long lost espionage film directed by Terence Young, director of the James Bond classics Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Thunderball, and featuring a very early performance by Christopher (Scaramanga) Lee!
