The story

Philip Hannon is a blind playwright who lives in a London flat with a spectacular view over the River Thames between Waterloo Bridge and Charing Cross Station.

He tries to contact Inspector Grovening, who offers no help, so Hannon, his butler and his American ex-fiancée Jean seek to bring the kidnappers to justice.
