Canadian citizen Richard Hannay (Robert Donat) is visiting England when he goes to the Palladium where he sees an act starring "Mr. Memory" (Wylie Watson). In the middle of the show, a shot rings out, and Richard is approached by terrified Miss Annabelle Smith (Lucie Mannheim) who begs him to help her. She tells him that she is a British spy being targeted by international agents out to kill her. The next morning, Annabelle appears at Richard's door–dying from a knife wound, muttering "39 steps," and giving Richard a map. Richard uses the map that leads him to Scotland. He meets Pamela (Madeleine Carroll) on the trip to Scotland, and she ends up serving as his assistant when the two of them become involved in a world of espionage and murder.
