Espionage has reporters on rival newspapers, Edmund Lowe and Madge Evans om
a train together and trailing European munitions king Paul Lukas on a story
though I'm still not clear what specifically Lukas is supposed to have
done. Circumstances and somewhat amusing ones at that have Lowe and Evans
pretending to be husband and wife.
Lowe and Evans engage in some delightful banter between them. Funniest
in the film is Billy Gilbert who plays a corpulent and somewhat gross Turk
that Lowe is supposed to share a cabin with. That he would seek out Evans as
a traveling companion is completely understandable.
Other than selling arms I'm not sure what Lukas was guilty of. Would that the
snappy dialog had a better story to be in.
