Raoul Leduc is a Montréal-based Inspector with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In quick succession, he has to investigate three murders in separate incidents, which on the surface seem unrelated to each other. However, he is able to find a connection between the three victims, namely atomic physicist, Dr. Carl Macklin. If Leduc is able to discover what is happening that led to the murders, he will find that it is a plot either to obtain Dr. Macklin's current work first by finding out where it's being housed, or if that fails to kidnap Dr. Macklin himself to coerce him to work for "the other side". Eric Hartman is leading the assignment on behalf of his superiors, he who hires American gangster Joe Victor to devise and carry out the plot. Beyond the money, Joe takes the job as having been deported from the US for his criminal activities and living in Europe since, he believes Montréal will be a good route to "go home", namely reenter the US under an assumed name. In carrying out the plot, Victor calls in four of his past associates from the US, many parts to the plot using affairs of the heart to reach their end goal. One of those associates, Joyce Geary, Victor's former moll who is a somewhat reluctant participant, is assigned to seduce Macklin himself.—Huggo
Montreal, Canada, sometime in the 50's. Outside the university, Doctor carl Maklin, a Professor, is seceretly photographed by someone dressed as an organ grinder, complete with monkey. A Mountie becomes suspicious. and is shot and killed for it by said Organ Grinder, who is obviously some sort of spy. When this is passed back to the boss, Erc Hartman, the organ grinder is himself killed.Portugal. Joe Victor, obviously a down on his luck crook, is approached by Raphael Garcia, with the offer of a lot of money, and being smuggled back into Canada to kidnap Dr. Maklin.Back in Canada, Maklin gathers a team to help him. This includes Joyce, with whom he obviously has a 'history', and smooth man Jack. Jack's job is to seduce Yvonne, Maklins secretary, whilst Joyce is to make a play for Maklin himself.Jack succeeds in getting the required information from Yvonne, but is so obvious, she twigs she has been pumped for information and makes a run for it to tell. Jack shoots and kills her.Detective Leduc, in a standard piece of police procedural, pieces together the 3 killings and finds Maklin is the link.We gradualy come to realise Hartman's plan is to get Maklin, and some sort of apperatus out of the country to some un named, but fairly obviously the Russians, bad guys. Hartman gets everyone onto a ship leaving the country, but Leduc manages to undermine the trust between all concerned, and awaken Patriotic pride in Victor so all works out for the best.
