Pilot Vic Morrow flies a rich London banker from Monaco to Istanbul, little realizing he is carrying plates from a UK mint for a counterfeiting deal. After the banker ends up dead, the crooks, led by Victor Buono, come after him for the plates. Meanwhile, Suzanne Pleshette romances him and Morrow realizes that she too might be involved. Despite a cast of cult favorites and talent behind the camera, including Monte Hellman as editor, this is a disappointing effort. Morrow is practically emotionless and has no chemistry with costar Pleshette. The European locales are poorly utilized, taking place in the most obvious tourist locations, with the finale appropriately enough a shoot out in a tourist group on a Greek island.
