A suave, succesful New York advertising executive finds himself, through a case of mistaken identity, 
embroiled in a web of intrigue and murder that takes him across the country to prove his innocence to 
the police and get an evil crime syndicate, looking for a lost microfilm, off his tail.

============

Middle-aged Madison Avenue advertising executive Roger O. Thornhill is mistaken for a government agent 
by a gang of spies. He gets involved in a series of misadventures and is pursued across the States by 
both the spies and the government whilst being helped by a beautiful blonde.

============

New York advertising executive Roger Thornhill is kidnapped by a gang of spies led by Philip Vandamm, 
who believe Thornhill is CIA agent George Kaplan. Thornhill escapes, but must find Kaplan in order to 
clear himself of a murder it is believed he committed. Following Kaplan to Chicago as a fugitive from 
justice, Thornhill is helped by beautiful Eve Kendall. In Chicago, she delivers a message to Kaplan 
that almost costs Thornhill his life when he is chased across a cornfield by a crop-dusting plane.
