Spoilers ahead

During a high-stakes race at Monte Carlo, Milos Segora Michael Ansara attempts to assassinate Jason Carlyle Stanley Holloway but instead shoots an innocent bystander, sparking a desperate flight as Carlyle and his daughter Ruth Carlyle Charlotte Rampling race to safety.

Freelance pilot Harry Black [Vic Morrow] is bailed out of prison and released with a warning by Lieutenant Duval Cesar Romero. He then flies Jason Carlyle to Istanbul, where Carlyle is murdered shortly after, shattering any pretense of a quick escape. The motive seems tied to plates for counterfeiting currency that Carlyle was believed to carry, plates that are now missing, and the investigation quickly widens to include Harry, who finds himself caught between rival crooks and Istanbul police who suspect his involvement in the death.
