Maxime Bellac, directeur d'une galerie de tableaux, aime Michèle qui le lui rend bien. Un soir ils décident d'aller dîner dans un petit bistrot au bord de l'eau. Au cours du repas, Maxime informe Michèle qu'il est obligé de partir aux Canaries pour une affaire de tableaux, mais il ne veut pas en dire davantage. Brusquement, un homme revolver au poing se dresse devant eux. Maxime sortant un revolver tire sur l'inconnu qui s'écroule. Se penchant sur son corps, Maxime pousse un cri de surprise. La victime est l'inspecteur Cheneville de la Sûreté du Territoire, et Maxime avoue alors à Michèle qu'il travaille secrètement pour le compte d'une puissance orientale et que son voyage aux Canaries a pour but de mettre la main sur un dossier concernant des dépôts d'armes nucléaires. A cause de cette mort, Maxime ne peut se rendre aux Canaries. Michèle s'offre à le remplacer; c'est ainsi que devenue complice de l'espion, elle part en mission, suivie du lieutenant de Maxime, Armando.Actors

Von Krantz, savant infirme à demi fou, a inventé l'Annulator, procédé capable de désamorcer les armes nucléaires, ce qui ne manque pas de susciter la convoitise de puissants états (les États-Unis et la Russie) comme d'étranges organisations (les Chauves et les Asiatiques de Soleil Noir-Orient). La demeure de Krantz, véritable bunker protégé par un terrifiant système anti intrusion, est bientôt cernée par des espions de tout poil. Sa fille Sylvaine et son assistant Yvan sont enlevés pour servir de monnaies d'échange aux assaillants impatients de s'approprier les plans du fantastique Annulator.
