While giving his show Mr. Memory is asked by fugitive Richard Hannay: "What are the 39 Steps?" Mr. Memory begins to answer by saying "[t]he 39 Steps is an organization of spies", and is shot by the spymaster, who then leaps onto the stage and is immediately captured. Mr. Memory, who is barely alive, asks if he can answer the question and proceeds to reveal the complex secrets of the weaponry he memorized. He dies on the stage and Hannay and Pamela hold hands as the camera recedes.
Alfred Hitchcock makes a cameo about seven minutes into the film. He is seen tossing some litter as Richard and Annabella run from the music hall.
