A former CIA agent, Bill Fenner (Robert Vaughn), now a downbeat, loner journalist, is sent to Venice to investigate the shock suicide bombing by an American diplomat at a peace conference. CIA chief Frank Rosenfeld (Ed Asner) specifically requests Fenner come out of retirement because one of the suspects in the case is Fenner's ex-wife, Sandra Fane (Elke Sommer), who is believed to be a Communist sympathizer. A secret report by Dr. Vaugiroud (Boris Karloff) could be the key, but Fenner's and Fane's lives are greatly endangered, particularly at the hands of a mysterious man named Wahl (Karlheinz Böhm), while trying to unravel the plot.
