Ozark thrush Judy Hull inadvertently shoots a pigeon carrying a message
from a secret Nazi spy nest in the United States, and becomes a national
heroine. Philip Munson ,head of the spy ring with headquarters in a
secret room at the "Club 76", which he operates, receives orders from
the Gestapo to immediately liquidate her as an object lesson to all
Americans who might try to emulate her. When theatrical agents Cliff Little
and Eddie McCabe come to Munson's office with Marie Lamont , a dancer
they are trying to promote, Munson conceives a scheme whereby Judy
will be brought to him, rather than him going to the Ozarks to liquidate
her. He tells Little and McCabe that if they will produce the now-famous
Judy Hull as an entertainer at his club, he might be interested in making a
deal to employ their client.
