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.

Une version de la tragique histoire de Rodolphe de Habsbourg et de la baronne Marie Vetsera, décédés, dans de mystérieuses circonstances, à Mayerling, près de Vienne en Autriche. Bien que la thèse officielle soit le suicide, on parla aussi d’assassinat politique, en raison du soutien de l'archiduc à la cause du nationalisme hongrois. Delannoy et son scénariste Jacques Rémy présentent la retraite de l’archiduc à Mayerling comme la préparation d’un coup d’État qui aurait échoué. Les services officiels auraient alors fait assassiner le couple en maquillant cette exécution en suicide.

In 1942, Nazi Germany attempts to bring neutral Turkey into the war on its side by staging an assassination attempt on Franz von Papen, its own ambassador to the country. Much to the annoyance of Colonel Robinson (Sydney Greenstreet), von Papen survives and the Russians that his agent provocateur was trying to frame have solid alibis, forcing him to turn to another scheme to inflame Turkey's traditional rivalry with Russia.
