Plot
[edit]A man looking for a missing husband stumbles upon a spy ring. Michael Newman (Sean Flynn) is asked by the wife of a friend of his father to help search for her missing husband. When Michael asks a friend of his father's who was his superior, about the missing man, he tells Michael that the missing man is a traitor. Michael then goes to Venice where the man was last seen. In Venice Michael meets an icy blonde (Karen Baal) and her "husband" who know something about the missing man. After some harrowing experiences, where a girl is murdered, the missing man is found tortured half to death. The missing man has proof of the spy ring and is also proven to be undercover and not a traitor. The man who was not actually the husband of the icy blonde turns out to be leader of the spies and tries to get the document proof from Newman. Newman is able to outsmart the spy leader, turn him over to the authorities and goes off with the icy blonde.
