Dana Andrews is an American newspaper reporter in Paris. He gets involved with spies behind the Iron Curtain and goes to Hungary to investigate. He is arrested and sentenced to death. However, back in Paris his editor arranges an exchange with a Hungarian revolutionary. Despite some location shooting with the actual actors in long shots, it still relies on back projection for close-ups. The film simply lacks style and feels like a manufactured Hollywood product.
