English Summary:
Number Seventeen is a 1932 thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and starring John Stuart, Anne Grey and Leon M. Lion It is based on the 1925 stage play Number Seventeen by Joseph Jefferson Farjeon, It is about a group of criminals who committed a jewel robbery and hid their loot in an old house over a railway leading to the English Channel. The film's title is derived from the house's street number. An outsider stumbles onto this plot and intervenes with the help of a neighbour, a police officer's daughter.
Detective Barton is searching for a necklace stolen by a gang of thieves. In the beginning, the gang is in a house in London, before going on the run.
The film starts off with Detective Barton (John Stuart) arriving at a house marked for sale or rent. The door is unlocked and he wanders in. An unknown person with a candle is wandering about and a dead body is found. When confronted the mysterious person claims innocence of the murdered person. Barton (who introduces himself as Forsythe) asks the stranger what he has in his pockets (handkerchief, string, sausage, picture of a child, half a cigarette), before the shadow of a hand is shown reaching for a doorknob. The stranger (who later introduces himself as Ben) searches the body of the dead person and finds handcuffs and a gun which he takes.
The detective returns from investigating the weird sound and finds the handcuffs which the stranger left on the ground. A person is seen to be crawling on the roof through shadows, who then falls through the roof. This is a woman called Miss Ackroyd (Ann Casson) who is revived and cries out for her father. She explains that her father went onto the roof and that they are next door in number 15.
Hungarian Summary:
Egy ékszerrabló banda elrejti ebül szerzett zsákmányát egy elhagyatott, londoni házban. Gilbert nyomozó éppen ezután a nyaklánc után nyomoz, de egy csavargó még előtte rábukkan az értékes csomagra, s kihasználva e váratlan lehetőséget, azonnal meg is lép vele. Azonnal kezdetét veszi a film alapjául szolgáló, cselszövésekkel teli "vadászat", amely során a tolvajok a csavargó nyomába erednek, míg az ő nyomukat a furfangos detektív követi kitartóan.
