Man At Large (1941)

George Reeves is an FBI agent posing as a newspaper reporter. Marjorie Weaver is an aspiring reporter who is waiting to her big chance. A man comes into the city room of the paper to give them a story on fifth columnists and is shot while waiting. Weaver thinks Reeves did it. Richard Derr, a British agent posing as a German aviator, has escaped from a Canadian prisoner, and the editor sends Weaver to cover the story to get her out of the way so that she will not talk about the case, in answer to a request from the FBI. She jumps right into the middle of a spy story at a small motel near the Canadian border.

Weaver finds a story at the motel that tells about the escape - in advance. She seeks out the author - a blind man with a German accent. She still thinks Reeves and Derr are German agents, and they are still trying to uncover the Nazi organization. She finally is convinced that Reeves is on the level, and they launch into the typical hair-raising finale.
