T-Man, the world-wide trouble-shooter, becomes entangled in a dangerous espionage plot involving Soviet agents seeking to eliminate American scientists. After a woman named Natasha gains his trust and nearly succeeds in killing him during a cabin encounter, T-Man pursues her to a Soviet commissariat where he discovers a conspiracy to kidnap or dispose of valuable American scientists. T-Man ultimately infiltrates the Soviet operation, defeats Machacek and other enemy agents, and prevents the plot to acquire American scientific expertise.
