***SPOILERS*** Gregory Peck as visiting American Oxford language professor David Pollock has his hand full chasing that fast filly and mystery woman Yasmin Azir, Sophia Loren,all over London and it's surroundings. That as Pollock is being chased by Arab billionaire oil man Bashraavi's, Alan Badel, goons who need Prof. Pollock to decipher an urgent massage,in ancient Hittite hieroglyphs, that can determine the course of the future of all of mankind. Things are doubly difficult for Peck in the film in that he's recovering from falling off a horse and can barley walk much run in all his action scenes that must have made things a living hell for him in the film.
It's oil rich unnamed Middle Eastern nation's Prime Minister Yossef Kasim's, Kieron Moor, plan to exclusively use US & UK oil tankers to carry his oil reserves that has Bashraavi want to have him knocked off in that it's cutting into his mega billions of dollars in oil profits! Pollock after being kidnapped, while jogging, by PM Kasin's men and told how important the ancient massage is later is hired by Bashraavi to decode it. That without Bashraavi knowing that he's really working for his enemy Prime Minister Yosseff Kasim. It's when the hot blooded Arabian princess Yasmin , who's mansion Bashraavi is staying at while in London, shows up unexpectedly that Pollock forgets what his job is and focuses all of his attention on her! That with him not quite knowing on who's side Yasmin is on his or her house-mate the oily and murderous Arab oil magnet Bashraavi!
With Pollock knowing that his life depends on him not decoding the secret message and that once he does decode it it's curtains, in Bashraavi finding out what it says, for him all he can do is run, together with Yasmin, for his life until the calvary or Scotland Yard comes to his rescue. It's during that time on the run Pollock is framed by one of Bashraavi's goons Slone, John Meravile,in a murder at the Ascot Race Track making him a fugitive from the law as well as from Bashraavi! Still hooked on the beautiful Yasmin Pollock isn't quite sure, with all the lies she'll told him, just whom she's working for and is even willing, if she's working for Bashraavi, to end up dying in her arms even if she's the one who does him in.
****SPOILERS**** it's to Pollock's great relief that Yasmin in fact turns out to be a secret agent or spy for Prime Minister Kasim! But by then it's almost too late for him with the Prime Minster getting blasted by one of his bodyguards after Pollock & Yasmin save him from an assassins bullet when he landed at the London airport! But the big surprise comes later when we realize that there's a lot more that's going on in the movie that meets the eye. Which leads to the explosive climax on the bridge to nowhere that turned out to be Bashraavi and his band of goons final resting place!
