Mike Callahan (Dan Duryea) is an Irish émigré and war veteran working in Singapore as a private detective (Callahan, the American ex-pat living in Singapore and earning a living as a gumshoe, soldier of fortune, confidence man — you name it). He takes on a case from a former flame, now a nightclub singer. She thinks her husband Julian March (Knowles) is involved in criminal activities and asks him to help out.
Callahan learns that a man named Alexis Pederas (Lockhart) has involved Julian in a plot to kidnap a prominent nuclear scientist Sean O'Connor and hold him for ransom to the highest bidder. O'Connor is one of the only men in the world that knows how to detonate the H-Bomb.
Here he's sucked into a convoluted mess of international intrigue surrounding the kidnapping of one of the world’s leading H-Bomb men. It turns out that Mike’s long time pal Julian (Patric Knowles), formerly of the British Army, aided in the kidnapping, which gives Mike a rooting interest in the case — especially considering he’s carrying a torch for lounge singer Frennessey, who is currently Julian’s girl.
