At Roosevelt's request, Henry goes to London to meet with the British and provide his own personal view on their doings. However, Henry is amazed to find how efficient their radar is, and encounters Pamela Tudsbury and meets her fiancé, an RAF pilot. When he is shot down over the English Channel, Henry and Pamela spend a good deal of time together. Although he remains loyal to his wife, it is apparent that they have developed feelings for one another.
