Ex- OSS operative Larry Brennan ( Eddie Constantine) returns to Czechoslovakia after retiring from his military service during World War II. He is intent on seeking out a hidden cache of Nazi jewels stashed in this country during the war.

Soon Larry begins to realise that he is being double-crossed and triple-crossed. [4]
