Synopsis:

David Fairfield asks Lamont and Margot to venture undercover behind the Iron Curtain to locate scientist Carl Jaburek, specializing in nuclear fission. He wants to give the U.S. his knowledge but is forced to work for the enemy. Lamont and Margot play a deadly game of cat and mouse in an attempt to smuggle him out to American soil. After they are arrested, escape prison, are shot at, dig up a freshly-laid grave and attempt to smuggle Jaburek across the border in a coffin, they discover they have the wrong man. Avoiding the authorities, they manage to find the real scientist and drive across the border before the game even deadlier.
