Mercenary Stanley Baker is hired by the British government to kill his old pal Alex Cord, who has gone rogue in the countryside near Hong Kong. After several cat and mouse encounters, Baker ends up in the hospital. While convalescing, he falls in love with the wife of the general he works for. It comes to an end when Cord decides to show up again, leading to a final showdown between the two men. After a promising beginning, it gets bogged down in a love affair that takes up far too much time and has an abrupt ending that seems merely an afterthought.
