Pidgeon escapes in the London black-out but Andersen catches up with Mrs Sorensen. Both are captured by German intelligence, who substitute false plans for those carried by Mrs Sorensen. Andersen escapes and recruits help from a Danish restaurant nearby They rescue Mrs Sorensen who then slips away to inform the of the true message which she is carrying. Passengers and crew return to the Helvig in time to sail as arranged the next morning, when Andersen learns that Naval intelligence had been monitoring the events of the previous evening and he is congratulated oil his night's work.
