IMDB preview completely wrong!

"A sharp-eyed woman spots a man with a gun on a train and her alert to the railroad police lead to the kidnapping of a blind heiress by a ruthless thug."

THAT is the current preview posted by IMDB to describe Union Station, the 1950 crime noir drama, starring William Holden (don't call me Willy), Barry Fitzpatrick, and Nancy Olsen. Joyce Willecombe's (played by Ms Olsen) initial alertness had nothing whatever to do with the kidnapping. In fact, because of her alert the police managed to actually have the information ready to deal with the crime. IMDB needs a "shame on you". . .for posting such drivel at the very top of a movie layout.

OK, it's not a well worded sentence.. it is ambiguous.. and can be read as meaning that her alert triggers the kidnapping. It would be better with just a tiny tweak (moving 'lead' and adding an 's') to read
" her alert leads the railroad police to the kidnapping of a blind heiress by a ruthless thug."

I feel calling it "completely wrong' and 'drivel' is a tad strong.
