The title is a quote from The Pilgrim's Progress "Now the name of one of those ways was Danger".
Synopsis
Angela Graham has been living well above her means in London and after losing heavily at the roulette wheel one night she is now completely broke. Forced now to look for work she accepts an offer to become lady's companion to the cousin of a White Russian prince. She is forced to give up all hope of Lord Cherwell, the charming, friendly but breezily evasive Englishman she had struck up a close friendship over the past months. As she journeys across France via Paris to the villa on the French Riviera, the prince's behaviour is erratic and he explains that this is due to his fears of assassination by Bolshevik enemies.
