In this espionage drama, a secret agent is slated to rendezvous with a German scientist in
Cairo. There the agent gets involved with the scientist's daughter and discovers that her
father is busy designing a moon rocket that can be used as a weapon. This leads the agent
to break into the scientist's heavily guarded lab and destroy the plans for the missile. There
he meets up with radical Moslems who insist on destroying the weapon themselves. He
soon discovers a trap. To escape, he abducts the scientist's daughter and heads for Italy
where Egyptian agents capture him, place him in a trunk and send him on a plane back to
Cairo. Italian guards manage to capture the Egyptians. When they open the trunk, they
discover the body of an Egyptian guard, not that of the agent. Meanwhile, the super spy has
boarded the plane containing the captured girl. He manages to commandeer the plane, fly
back to Egypt and ensure a happy ending for all involved.
