Synopsis
Athanase, chef d'un groupe de contre-espionnage ultra secret, « Le Hangar », se voit confier la mission d'exécuter Birgitt Haas, une ex-terroriste allemande. Un nouveau-venu dans le groupe, Colonna, suggère de camoufler l'exécution en crime passionnel en jetant dans les bras de Birgitt un individu qui portera le chapeau une fois le meurtre accompli. Colonna suggère pour ce rôle Bauman, chômeur délaissé par sa femme et sans grande personnalité, qui se trouve être le mari de sa maîtresse. Athanase accepte l'opération mais exige que Bauman s'en tire. Arrivé à Munich, Bauman rencontre Birgitt, tombe amoureux d'elle et fait le projet de l'emmener. Le groupe d'Athanase décide d'agir rapidement pour exécuter Birgitt, mais Bauman s'interpose et Colonna est blessé à mort par la terroriste qui est arrêtée.Actors

Aleksey Teodorovic Vlassov (Yul Brynner) is a high ranking KGB official who defects while in France. He has with him highly-classified information as part of a deal with Western intelligence for his arrival in the United States. The debriefing is held at Langley by DCI Allan Davies (Henry Fonda) and MI6 representative Philip Boyle (Dirk Bogarde). Vlassov hands off a list of enemy agents in Western Europe including a deep penetration into NATO. Davies wants to begin operations to arrest the agents; however, those on the list suddenly begin to die off. The CIA also has suspicions over the authenticity of Vlassov's claims. The CIA discovers that a defection photo of Vlassov was taken in the Soviet Union, not in Turkey, judging from the contours of Mt. Ararat in the background. Vlassov also fails a lie detector test after he angrily protests about sexual related questions asked by the CIA during the test.

In pre-revolutionary Cuba, James Wormold (Alec Guinness), a vacuum cleaner salesman, is recruited by Hawthorne (Noël Coward) of the British Secret Intelligence Service to be their Havana operative. Instead of recruiting his own agents, Wormold invents agents from men he knows only by sight, and sketches "plans" for a rocket-launching pad based on vacuum parts to increase his value to the service and to procure more money for himself and his expensive daughter Milly (Jo Morrow). Because his importance grows, he is sent a secretary, Beatrice (Maureen O'Hara), and a radioman from London to be under his command. With their arrival it becomes much harder for Wormold to maintain his facade. However, all of his invented information begins to come true: his cables home are intercepted and believed to be true by enemy agents who then act against his "cell". One of his "agents" is killed, and he is himself targeted for assassination. He admits what he's done to his secretary, and is recalled to London. At the film's conclusion, rather than telling the truth to the prime minister and other military intelligence services, Wormold's commanders (led by Ralph Richardson) agree to fabricate a story claiming his imagined machines had been dismantled, bestow honors on Wormold, and offer him a position teaching espionage classes in London.
