A visiting Russian diplomat tries to recruit a lonely government department employee as a spy
Following a series of spy scandals, the Security Service and the Central Office of Information created a security education campaign to raise awareness of the Soviet espionage threat to state and industrial secrets, and to provide security training for military and civilian personnel handling classified material. Several instructional films were commissioned, using fictional scenarios to dramatise the cold war threat to security personnel and this feature film was one of four highly inventive dramas produced over an eight-year period. It features the entrances to three Underground stations, namely Chalk Farm, Sloane Square and Baker Street.
