Synopsis

Secret agent Charles Vine is assigned by the British Foreign Office the extremely dangerous job of protecting the life of Swedish scientist Henrik Jacobsen, the inventor of an anti-gravity machine. Jacobsen and his assistant, Julia Lindberg, arrive in England to negotiate the sale of the valuable invention to the British government. Agent Vine must protect him from Russian agents who would rather see him dead than imparting his knowledge to the British. From the time of their arrival in England, Jacobsen and Julia are continually ambushed by the Russian agents, but Vine always manages to save them. As the scientist and his assistant are departing for their homeland after selling the formula to Britain for a considerable sum, they are ambushed again, and Vine is injured. Shortly afterwards, it is revealed that Jacobsen tried to sell his secret to both the Russians and the British.
