Plots: A former British agent is employed at the Fenton country estate where he aids Fenton's niece in eluding the police after she's unjustly accused of murdering a local gamekeeper. After Secret Service agent David Somers is fired, he takes a quiet job with the Fentons at their country estate - cataloging butterflies, hence the title insect. David grows fond of Jess Fenton's niece, a fragile, fey young woman named Sophie. Because he hates traps of any kind, he reacts quickly after Sophie is framed for the murder of Hick, the nasty handyman. He helps her escape London by using his agent's skills and a network of old friends. The pair lead the police and David's ex-employers an exciting chase, from Newcastle to the Lake District to Liverpool. As the fugitives try to catch a ship for France, everyone, including the murderer, join in the finale.

Goofs: Continuity The Lake District sequence opens with Willy Shepley in search of David Somers and Sylvia. The clock behind him shows it is ten past ten in the morning. It then cuts to a shop where David and Sylvia are buying food. The shopkeeper, when asked, says there is no fresh bread as the baker doesn't call until half past nine. Factual errors A Newcastle trolley bus heading over the Tyne Bridge is suddenly some distance away on the Town Moor.

Quote:

Maj. David Somers : What is the job?

Employment Agent : Cataloguing butterflies.

Maj. David Somers : Oh. Do I have to know anything about them?

Employment Agent : No, no. The only necessary qualification seems to be a sound general education and an amiable disposition. And you appear to have both if I may say so.

Tagline: « Tense, exciting, unusual ! »
