Vanessa March's husband Lewis is meant to be on a business trip in Stockholm.
So why does he briefly appear in newsreel footage of a fire at a circus in Vienna, with his arm around another woman?
Vanessa flies to Austria to find her husband - and inadvertently becomes involved in a mystery that spans three countries... and the famous dancing stallions of Austria's Spanish Riding School.
