Gary Fenn, Roger Moore, is an advertising executive in a bustling London agency who maps out a meticulous plan to identify the perfect target and orchestrate events so that only one girl will satisfy his boss—the Hungarian Marla Kugash Claudie Lange. He spots her among the anti-war movement in the bohemian depths of Swinging London, where she moves in the company of a young man, Tarquin Alexis Kanner, whose protectiveness toward her borders on aggression toward Fenn and heightens the tension around their encounter.
