Gene Barry is a spy posing as an art dealer. He is assigned to travel to Istanbul and buy scientific papers for the government. The train ride from London to Istanbul turns out to be full of surprises, as counter agents try to stop him and steal information. Stops in Paris, Venice and Belgrade provide many photogenic opportunities, which are probably the highlight of this made-for-tv production. John Saxon is a train detective who gets him out of a few tricky situations.
