The version of this film I saw was an incomprehensible ragbag of unexplained scenes, with the 'explanation' of the plot at the end being perfunctory and only adding to the confusion - perhaps there was a reel or two missing? It seems (I could be wrong) that Mrs Scott was being kidnapped in order to exchange her for her double-agent husband? If so, why didn't they simply kidnap her (they seemed to do whatever they liked), rather than go through all the rigmarole of faked break-ins, roping in the journalist Pam Jennings for no reason, using all that cloak and dagger business with the 'eagle' code and so on - they could have just snatched her off the street, or from her flat, as the security experts didn't appear to have her under surveillance despite fearing that she would be nabbed at any moment. Did 'Harris' appear in the film - he is credited in the cast but I must have missed him? How did they find that abandoned car, and where did it lead them? Wilson , who died in the mini crash, had forgotten to change his address - what? The woman from the newspaper office was working for the security people, and then phoned someone to pass on Pam Jennings' address, after which a 'copper' stops Jennings in her car park and checks her address - what's going on there? And who killed the newspaper woman and why? (I think they said it was Harris). Too many loose ends and illogical activity. I am totally prepared to accept that I simply wasn't paying proper attention, but if someone could give a coherent account of what actually happened, and why, I'd be grateful.
