George Ardisson stars as Vince Dreyser, an American detective in Rome who happens to meet an old friend of his just by chance one day.
His friend tells him that he plans to marry an Italian woman and they plan to get together. Drysers' friend never shows up so he goes out looking for him and is suddenly attacked by two thugs.
This starts in motion a complex murder mystery that really should have been better than it was. This story has corporate espionage, blackmail and cold blooded murder, but it just doesn't take off.
A lot of Italian films like this are very good and it will always be a mystery to me why the potential for this was lost. There are some great rooftop chases and a very odd villian in a motorized wheelchair.
You might like this movie better than I did.
