Young Bridie Quilty has grown up listening to her father's heroic tales of the <a href="/wiki/Irish_revolutionary_period" title="Irish revolutionary period">Irish Revolution</a>. As a result, she develops a hatred for everything and everyone British. By 1944, Mr. Quilty has died. Bridie, who is now 21, sets out for <a href="/wiki/Dublin" title="Dublin">Dublin</a> to carve a life of her own. On the train, she shares a compartment with J. Miller, a businessman returned from abroad. He is also a German agent who's entered Ireland unencumbered thanks to lax security. He shortly gets his assignment—to break a fellow spy out of prison. Miller recruits Bridie, who gets a job at a hotel and bar in Wynbridge Vale. Soon she becomes acquainted with a certain sergeant, who unwittingly provides her information about the prisoner's impending transfer to London. Meanwhile, Miller is disturbed by the arrival of Lieutenant David Baynes, a British officer he suspects of being a <a href="/wiki/Counter-intelligence" class="mw-redirect" title="Counter-intelligence">counter-intelligence</a> agent. He tells Bridie to distract Baynes on the day of the transfer. The implication is clear. This enables Miller to free the spy. </p><p>However, the freed spy is later shot. Before dying, he tells Miller to recover a notebook on the <a href="/wiki/Isle_of_Man" title="Isle of Man">Isle of Man</a> that holds important information. Miller is wounded too, but he escapes. When Bridie returns to her room, he is there, dying. He gives her the location of the notebook to pass up the spy chain. Keeping his head to the last, he tells her to dispose of his body when he is dead, which she does. Bridie then sets out for the Isle of Man. She is trailed by David and a mysterious stranger – with British military intelligence patching the clues together and only a step behind. Successfully locating the notebook, she deciphers it, learning the location of the imminent <a href="/wiki/Normandy_landings" title="Normandy landings">D-Day landings</a>. She decides to burn it. David later narrowly saves Bridie from being arrested as Miller's confederate, and after confessing his love for her, she tells him what she has done. </p><p>Bridie tries to turn herself in, but German agents kidnap her. David tracks them and ends up abducted too. When she refuses to tell what she knows, the two are taken to Ireland. The Nazis try to hide them amid a funeral procession, but the "mourners" are actually smugglers entering <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ireland" title="Northern Ireland">Northern Ireland</a>. Things go wrong at the border crossing, a melee erupts, and the Bridie and David escape in the confusion. Believing that they are still in neutral Ireland, where Bridie would be merely interned, David calls the police from a pub. When he discovers that they are actually in Northern Ireland, and that Bridie could be shot as a spy, he tries to persuade her to flee across the border. But she insists on facing the consequences. A BBC broadcast then announces D-Day has begun, rendering what she knows useless to the Germans. David helps her escape, then discovers the pack of spies in a room upstairs. A fight breaks out, the police arrive, and arrest all. After the war Bridie and David wed, their troubles seemingly all behind them. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=I_See_a_Dark_Stranger&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Deborah_Kerr" title="Deborah Kerr">Deborah Kerr</a> as Bridie Quilty</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Trevor_Howard" title="Trevor Howard">Trevor Howard</a> as Lieutenant David Baynes</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Raymond_Huntley" title="Raymond Huntley">Raymond Huntley</a> as J.
