Lured

Sandra Carpenter arrives in London to perform in a show but ends up working as a taxi dancer. She learns her friend Lucy Barnard is missing, heightening the sense of danger around a recent 'Poet Killer' case. The city itself feels like a stage as she begins to suspect the ad-driven peril she faces.

Temple sees Sandra's observational skill and offers her an undercover assignment to help find Lucy and identify the killer. He places temporary police ID and a gun in her hands and assigns Barrett as a protective bodyguard. This marks the shift from performer to undercover investigator.

Under police supervision, Sandra is instructed to answer personal ads to lure out the killer. She keeps her cover as she questions the suspects and remains alert for danger. This groundwork sets the stage for the subsequent encounters.

By chance, Sandra encounters Robert Fleming, a charismatic nightclub revue producer. He becomes a key figure in her life, offering charm and assistance. Their meeting accelerates her undercover mission.

Sandra is lured by Mr. Moryani with promises of opportunity, but Fleming intervenes and rescues her. The dangerous figure aims to trap her into forced labor in South America. The rescue deepens Sandra's trust in Fleming.

Fleming shares a stately home with his business partner Julian Wilde. He wins Sandra's heart, and the couple gets engaged, signaling a rare personal triumph amid the danger.

At the engagement party, Sandra discovers incriminating documents in Fleming's desk, including Lucy's distinctive bracelet. The discovery triggers suspicion and leads to Fleming's arrest on suspicion of killings. The party atmosphere quickly turns tense as trust wavers.

Scotland Yard notes that Fleming's typewriter was used to produce the killer's poems, but he denies any involvement in the crimes. The mystery deepens as the evidence appears circumstantial. Sandra struggles to decide who to believe.

Lucy Barnard's body is recovered in the River Thames, shifting the investigation's focus to possible connections with Wilde and the killer's pattern. Temple suspects Wilde, though he has little proof. The case widens as more clues surface.

Temple confronts Julian Wilde with his suspicions but finds no solid proof yet. He then learns that Fleming has publicly confessed to the murders, complicating the investigation. The trap is set for Wilde as the real killer remains elusive.

As Wilde plans to flee the country, Sandra visits him to confront him directly. Wilde reacts with violence, attempting to strangle her, but Scotland Yard's agents intervene at the last moment. The rescue reveals that Fleming's confession may have been part of a larger trap.

It is revealed that Fleming's confession was faked as part of Sandra and Temple's plan to trap Wilde. Fleming is released, and he and Sandra reconcile, choosing to move forward together. The killer's true identity is confirmed: Wilde is the Poet Killer.

With Wilde thwarted and Fleming exonerated, Sandra and Fleming celebrate a renewed relationship. They toast to a future free from the danger that once threatened them, signaling a hopeful ending to the ordeal.
