Soon, Ellie and Major Ramsey are forced to put aside their differences to unmask the double agent, and stop Allied plans from falling into enemy hands. However, when they break into the house, they find the safe open and empty, and a German spy dead on the floor. Ellie doesn’t care for the major’s imperious manner, but she has no choice. But instead of arresting them, government official Major Ramsey has an offer: either Ellie agrees to help him break into a safe and retrieve blueprints crucial to the British war effort, or he turns her over to the police. All is going as planned-until the pair is caught red-handed. So when Uncle Mick receives a tip about a safe full of jewels in an empty house, he and Ellie can’t resist. Breaking into the homes of the rich and picking the locks on their safes may not be condoned by British law enforcement, but with World War II in full swing, Uncle Mick’s locksmith business just can’t pay the bills anymore.
