(VUFKU) Odessa, 1927

A trackwalker inspected the line before the express train.

I was carrying this post to Moscow. I am a Soviet diplomatic...

Dear father, The documents are for him...

He died well. Like a man and Bolshevik!

Soon the express train will pass.

Carry that to Harry and tell about the request.

The pouch!

Sir, you sound as if you have a revolver in your pocket.

Our boy went with the pouch by the express train.

To our Harry in Portsmouth.

Where does he live?

Detain a boy with a pouch on the number 385 train.

Political police inspector White

Portsmouth streets were deafening.

The roar of chains and cars, the noise of cranes and engines.

A Portsmouth -to- Leningrad steamer named

Victoria was preparing to sail.

The boy with a pouch has not been found.

Harry... (Skoretskiy)

We found a dead Bolshevik there. Documents to Moscow.

Bolshevik post meant for Leningrad. We will stand united.

I can go no farther. A storm approaches.

The chief of the Portsmouth port.

Dammit! Who is captain here, me or you?

Sailors amuse themselves in crewquarters between watches.

Victoria must not leave Dover until my arrival.

Political police inspector White.

Victoria arrives at Dover today.

Buy tickets to Danzig.

Wait for instructions.

Steamship Victoria arrived at Dover that evening.

The Wet Deck Tavern.

Sea weather tends to be different, yet inside the bar it is always wet.

An experienced eye has already been spying on the Victoria.

It cannot be! I know Harry as an honest seaman.

Rest assured, your luggage will be sent for.

Watch for this, the line will lead you to the clue.

The Wet Deck was galvanized. Why not to share with the companions?

Gentlemen! There is a search onboard the ship!

They are searching for the pouch!

Where should we hide the pouch?

They will not look for it in the ballerina's luggage.

A pigeon flew in the Wet Deck on a barrel.

Flirt with the boatswain. He knows where the pouch is.

Remove the trunk and open it.

I like strong men. Fate lures me to them to.

That evening, Helen prepared to perform a ballet in the ballroom.

Inspector White sent for the stoker.

You are playing a bad game, sir!

I am still playing it, Mister Inspector!

Stay where you are!

Art, especially a barely clad female,

was not an unusual presence in the ballroom.

Who is there?

May I ?

As I see, you have lost the pouch ... ... Mr. Drowned Man.

Man overboard!

We found no one in the waves.

The silent sea washed behind.

The Victoria, its sailors, stokers, the captain, the ballerina, the cargo ...

and the secret Soviet dispatch, all were heading to Leningrad via Danzig.
