The Girl from Scotland Yard has a dynamite opening sequence, as villain
Franz Borg (Eduardo Cianelli) demonstrates his futuristic "death ray" on a
helpless London. Threatening to destroy all of Europe if his demands
aren't met, Borg hasn't reckoned with the resourcefulness of gorgeous
secret service agent Viola Beech (Karen Morley) and American reporter
Derrick Holt (Robert Baldwin). Things move apace until a serial-like climax
in a runaway airplane. It's giving away nothing of the outcome to reveal
that Viola and Derrick fall in love along the way. The Girl from Scotland
Yard makes no pretence at believability, though it's slightly more credible
than Karen Morley's tacked-on British accent.
