US rocket scientist Michael Armstrong becomes a spy and goes
to East Germany to meet professor Lindt. His fiancee and
secretary Sarah Sherman goes with him.
Armstrong is searching for some important elements he needs
to set up an efficient anti-rocket defense system.
It's easy to gain professor Lindt's trust and help, but it's not so
easy to come back to USA.
After overcoming some troubles, dr. Armstrong and Sarah
successfully end their mission.

Hitchcock was not satisfied by this movie, an espionage story
with no suspense and little interest. The director didn't like
Paul Newman's performance as well as the screen play, the
soundtrack and scenes design.
