Pedley, retiring from the British Secret Service, can't understand why he hasn't yet been knighted. He devises an elaborate heist of an airplane cargo, recruiting Mike Warden, a writer from America, although his real aim is to capture the elusive General Ferranti.
Warden travels to Italy to assume control of the scheme along with Pedley's accomplice Sylvia Giroux, with whom he soon falls in love. They are arrested, but Pedley comes to their rescue just in time.
The film was one of several collabroations between producer Raymond Stross and his wife Anne Heywood. Richard Crenna claimed that Heywood had the script rewritten to suit her purposes.[4] Finance came from ABC.[5]
