Film Synopsis
When the blueprints for a revolutionary new military aircraft go missing, French secret service agent Francis Coplan is sent to Geneva to contact Lindbaum, the man believed to be responsible for the theft. Lindbaum agrees to return the stolen documents in return for a large cash payment. Coplan's role is to ensure that the transaction goes ahead as agreed. Unfortunately, Lindbaum has only half of the blueprints - the rest are in the possession of the international mobster Kalpannen. Coplan has his work cut out trying to recover the valuable documents. Luckily, he has a Swiss agent named Heidi to help him...© James Travers
