Fire Over England (1937)
Filips van Spanje was het beu om zijn galjoenen geladen met goud uit de Amerikaanse koloniën te zien enteren door Britse kapers. Dus besloot hij een formidabele vloot samen te stellen, een 'onoverwinnelijke armada', bestemd om hem een definitieve overwinning op Elizabeths marine te bezorgen. Maar een Engelse luitenant doet zich voor als samenzweerder om in de geautoriseerde kringen van het Spaanse hof te worden geïntroduceerd, om zoveel mogelijk informatie over de Spaanse vloot te verzamelen. Elizabeth I verheugde zich over deze informatie, die haar schepen in staat zou stellen de onoverwinnelijke armada te verslaan en tot zinken te brengen...
