Storyline

- TriviaTwo FBI agents were on the set at all times.
- GoofsJennie forgets her speech at a mid-term Honor Society event. When her father comforts her in the family car a few moments later, the cherry blossoms are in bloom; this usually occurs in early April in Washington (DC). However, after they leave the car with the radio still on, a news bulletin breaks in, announcing the attack on Pearl Harbor, which took place on December 7, 1941. No cherry blossoms would have been in bloom then, nor would the weather have been mild enough as depicted in the accompanying scenes.

Featured review
This movie is very well filmed for its age (1959), it is one of the better FBI movie's that actually portray it as the FBI should be portrayed, as the good guys, not the bad guys. Though it is one sided I think the point of the movie was to show the triumphs of the FBI. Jimmy Stewart was great in it!
