Plot When a mysterious Albanian freighter is blown up in the territorial waters off the coast of Rome, the authorities try to cover it up by claiming there was only one survivor. However, an astute American journalist living in Rome, Patrick Harris (Tab Hunter), discovers there were actually two survivors and publishes the truth in his newspaper. This revelation immediately puts a target on his back, and Patrick finds himself the victim of multiple assassination attempts. Unwittingly dragged into a deadly Cold War conspiracy involving a Russian gun-running ring, Soviet double agents, and the CIA, Patrick must navigate a maze of deception. Assisted by US diplomat George McConnell (Michael Rennie) and dealing with the jealousy of his beautiful wife Helen (Daniela Bianchi), Patrick must uncover the encrypted list of Soviet agents hiding in Europe before the ruthless assassins silence him forever.
