Verloc, the manager of a London West End Cinema, is also the secret chief of a terrorist organisation planning to destroy the London Underground Network. For his next task, he must leave a highly explosive bomb at Piccadilly Circus Station. The bomb is rigged to go off at a certain time and, in a classic piece of Hitchcock mastery, we witness the messenger boy, blissfully unaware of the parcel's contents, killed in a shockingly sudden explosion, together with the passengers on board the bus. But, by an unexpected twist of fate, Verloc is brought to justice.
