Synopsis Sonja Henie skates her way into all kinds of trouble in this light-hearted drama of international intrigue and romance. Ray Milland and Robert Cummings are two rival news reporters who independently get the same hot tip: Dr. Hugo Norden (Maurice Moscovich), a Nobel Prize winner believed murdered several years earlier, is still alive and hiding in St. Palo, Switzerland. Though both men deny their purpose in coming to the Swiss town, each suspects the other's mission. Their competitive spirits are further aroused when they both fall in love with the same woman (Henie). "One of Henie's best romantic skating vehicles," (Leonard Maltin's TV Movies and Video Guide).
