Step 39 Summary of Main Contents of Hotel Owners

Overview of the main contents of the 39 steps:

Richard Hannay, who returned to live in Britain from southern Africa, returned to his apartment in London and felt bored. However, an uninvited guest came to his apartment that night. The American named Scudder discovered that a foreign spy organization code-named Blackstone was preparing to assassinate the Prime Minister, causing chaos, and then stole an important national defense military intelligence. Scudder was in danger of being killed because he followed their members and was found by the other side. Hannay promised Scudder temporary refuge in his apartment. One night, when Hannah returned to her apartment, she found Scudder nailed to the floor with a dagger.

In order to escape the arrest of the police and the pursuit of Blackstone, Hannay decided to flee to Scotland. He disguised himself as a milkman and ran to the railway station. At this point, the police have regarded him as an important murder suspect.

Hannay entered the scenic Scottish Plateau, and the pursuit of "Blackstone" followed. Hannay came to a small inn, and with the help of the innkeeper, Blackstone's people were temporarily led astray. During his escape, Hannay met the young Sir Harry, who introduced Hannay to his godfather, Lord Walter Bullivant, a senior official of the British Foreign Office. Later, Hannay pretended to be a road builder and deceived the interrogation of members of the "Blackstone" spy organization.

Hannay spent the night in the wild in the Scottish Plateau, and the people who searched for him finally found his trail. Hannay tried his best to escape on the plateau. He escaped into a farmhouse by hook or by crook. Unexpectedly, the road to the enemy is very narrow, and this is one of Blackstone's nests. Hannay managed to escape from the magic cave. He went back to the road building family to get the notebook that Scudder left there. Due to overwork, Hannay is very ill.

After recovering from his illness, Hannay left the road builder's home and had a hard time finding Lord Walter Bullivant's country house and got in touch with him. Hannay's escape life is over. Lord Walter found the information brought by Hannay somewhat alarmist. And the development of the situation just proves that all this is true. As those spies planned, the Greek Prime Minister was assassinated!

Lord Walter and Hannay went back to London together to prepare for the emergency. At this time, the police no longer wanted Hannay. The tight string suddenly loosened, and Hannay felt a little lost. However, he felt that Blackstone would make an amazing move. Driven by instinct, he immediately returned to Lord Walter's residence and found in time that Blackstone had sent someone to pretend to be the Minister of the Navy and stole national defense secrets from the important meeting held here. The top leaders of Britain and France at the meeting were shocked and felt helpless for a moment. Hannay made a bold guess according to the "39 steps" mentioned in Scudder's notebook and was entrusted with the important task of leading the arrest. After a thrilling life-and-death struggle, with the cooperation of the police and the military, Hannay finally smashed the escape plot of German spies, intercepted the important information they stole, and caught the "Blackstone" in the net.
