a5c7b9f00b Steve Gordon, an American agent posing as a black market operator, is in Tangier on a mission to stop the plans of three atormic-screntists who are there to pool their secrets and sell them in a package to the Communists. American and English intelligence services are aware that three atomic scientists are to meet in Tangier, pool their secrets, and sell the results to the Rusky Communists. American secret agent Steve Gordon (George Brent),posing as a black-market operator, has established contact with Kozad (Bert Freed), wealthy head of the Communist (because he is not in Russia) and his three henchmen Korvich (Shepard Menken), Rosnov (Richard Karlan, and Ivan (Michael Ross, billed as Mike Ross.) Steve's two co-agents, neither aware that Steve is a C.I.A agent, are sharp-faced Tony (John Harmon). owner of the Crossroads Cafe, and Police Inspector Rabat (Dan Seymour, fetching as always in a Fez), of the Tangier Police. In the café, Steve meets Millicent (Mari Aldon), fetching as always in-or-out of anything, and she is posing as an American tourist. She attach's herself to Steve. Steve is advised to meet an English girl at the airport, Nadine (Dorothy Patrick), who can recognize one of the scientists plotting to sell out the free world, but instead meets Olga (Alix Talton), who is posing as Nadine. The latter has been kidnapped by Kravich and Rosnov–-Ivan had the day off–-but escapes. Olga is somewhat put-out about that and she promptly kills Kravich, while Ivan is even more convinced about the value of a one-day holiday. Steve gets a secret code-paper from a safe in Kozad's home. But on his way to take it to the American legation, he is slugged by the well-rested Ivan. Meanwhile Nadine has resurfaced in the company of Steve, and she and he are captured by Rosnov, Ivan and Millicent, and the latter being in on the snatch, makes Steve think that she may not be the innocent-American tourist he was led to believe she was. In fact, Millicent turns out to be the daughter of Kozad, and tells him she and her father have known all along that Steve is an American agent, and she has intentions of killing him. But Inspector Rabat and his men enter the room, and Millicent is unable to kill Steve, which makes Steve very happy, and also Nadine, who may not be quite the tweedy twit-Brit she is posing as.
