"Mark Fannon" (Robert Wagner) is on his way from San Francisco to Seoul when he is told that he has to stay in Tokyo because he has no Letter of Entry to go any further. At least that is what he wants people to believe. In reality, Mark is a mid-level secret agent who is on an assignment to deliver some coded information concealed in some magazines to another agent named "Mr. Nobika" (Solly Nakamura). It's then that he learns about an assassination plot on an as yet unknown person by communists agents. Not long afterward he is almost killed and a day later Mr. Nokika is shot to death--leaving a young daughter named "Koko" (Reiko Oyama) as an orphan. Needless to say, his first concern is to find a way to take care of Koko while at the same time trying to obtain the magazines that he gave to Mr. Nobika before the communists can get their hands on it. It's at this time that a young woman by the name of "Tina Llewellyn" (Joan Collins) gets involved due to her romantic relationship to another American agent named "Tony Barrett" (Ken Scott) who happens to be a mutual acquaintance of Mark. But with so many things going on it now becomes a race to find out who the communists intend to kill in order to somehow stop the assassination. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a film that definitely had potential due to a reasonably good cast and plot but the lackluster script and the director (Richard L. Breen) simply proved inadequate for the task at hand. Likewise, the lack of chemistry between Robert Wagner and Joan Collins certainly didn't help either. In any case, while I don't necessarily consider this to be a bad movie by any means, it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Average.
