When scientists use eco-terrorism to impose their will on the world by affecting extremes in the weather, Intelligence Chief Cramden calls in top agent Derek Flint.

The world's weather seems to have changed dramatically with violent storms everywhere and long dormant volcanoes suddenly erupting. No one is sure what is happening or why but when American intelligence chief Cramden loses yet another team of agents, there appears to be only one man who can do the job: Derek Flint, former super spy, incredibly rich and the ultimate ladies man. Despite Cramden's concerns, Flint is on the job and soon discovers that the Earth's weather is under the control of a secret organization known as GALAXY whose scientists are looking to pacify the world and devote humankind to scientific pursuits.—garykmcd

An organization has learned how to control the weather to create man-made "natural" disasters, their goal obviously to take over the world. The three scientists who developed the technology eventually make themselves known, and while their motives are altruistic at least in their own minds, their backers, an organization called Galaxy have more nefarious goals. Members of the Zonal Organization World Intelligence Espionage - ZOWIE - a consortium of the leading nations' security and intelligence services, want to recruit retired American spy Derek Flint to lead the mission to discover Galaxy's hideout to destroy it, much against the protestations of the US member, Cramden, Flint's former boss, as Cramden knows that Flint is a renegade who doesn't know how to take orders preferring to do things his own way. While Cramden eventually relents, trying to convince Renaissance and ladies man Flint to do the job is another matter, he preferring to continue his quest for ultimate knowledge and skill with the assistance of his four beautiful female associates. Flint does change his mind when Galaxy just assumes he's on the case in they trying to kill him. As Cramden suspected, Flint does indeed do things his own way with all the skills and knowledge he's learned as opposed to the government way. While Flint faces the usual dangers of a spy in trying to discover those behind Galaxy, he may face the ultimate hurdle if a beautiful woman is involved on the other side, that indeed being the case in the curvaceous form of Gila.—Huggo

When the intelligence agencies of the world find that their agents are being murdered at an alarming rate their leaders all write out the qualities an agent will need to succede against the terrible crisis they are facing. Derick Flint is the only agent with all the qualities, but his old boss refuses to work with him until ordered to by the president. Flint is the worlds greatest secret agent, worlds greatest lover, an expert on electronics and Dolphin speech and goes to Moscow for Ballet (To Teach!) When attempts on his life are made, Flint begins to search out the mad scientists who want to remake the world after taking over with the aid of their earthquake machine.—John Vogel <[email protected]>

Synopsis

Ecological catastrophes are happening in the world. Flooding, hurricaines, volcanic actives, etc. No one knows why or how. Someone must be found who can tell the experts why all this is happening and how to stop it, the leaders of the world go to their computers to find that person each one has comes up with one man named: Derek Flint. The head honcho Mr. Cramden, who was Flint's commander in the military, dismisses him as the one person who can do this task.

The President, who is listening in on a bug, calls on the red phone and orders Cramden to "Get Flint" against Cramdens personal wishes.

Cramden sends various people to bring Flint in, but they are rebuffed in the act by Flint, who wants nothing to do with things, so Cramden pays Flint a personal visit at his apartment where Flint is serviced by several women who shave him and see to his needs whispering into his ear to which Flint replies: "Later."

Flint, who teaches Ballet in Russia and takes on several Black Belts and wins, eventually concedes and seeks out Cramden who briefs him on the problem and offers him a briefcase that has multiple functions only Flint counters with his cigarette lighters that does even more functions.

Flint sets out to find out who, what, where and when and runs into Gila, the bad girl, who eventually arranges for Flint's women to be captured as well as Flint, himself.

Once on the isolated Island that houses the bad guys Flint looks around but is given away by an un-American Eagle who is trained to find Americans, which Flint terms as "diabolical."

Flint eventually faces the evil doers, who are scientists who have names that don't match their ethnicities. He refused to go along with them and Gila, who has taken to Flint, is sent to become a Pleasure Unit (because she is a traitor) but she quickly gives Flint back his multi-purpose Cigarette lighter so he can overcome (the evil guys).

Flint then goes on a rampage and releases Gila from conditioning, along with his bounty of girl servants who have also been conditioned to serve.

Flint destroys the complex and makes a high jump off a cliff into the water that, according to Mr. Cramden, has to be a world record and saves the day and gets the gorgeous girl, Gila (play by Israeli Actress Gila Golan).

Bang, bang, boom, boom, the world is saved by Flint!

Outstanding musical score by Jerry Goldsmith!
