Plot Summary
Joanna Dane (Maureen O'Hara), a former O.S.S. operator (forerunner of the CIA),
is sent to Tangier by the American authorities to find out who is behind
a powerful ring of smugglers that does a booming business in contraband
with counterparts in Spain and Italy, and also contribute to a high death rate
among the Tangier policemen. She gets work in a waterfront dive owned
by "Frisco" (Binnie Barnes) and is soon being courted by Van Logan (Macdonald Carey),
another American agent but posing as one of the smugglers.
Most of the action is set in Tangier, with a brief interlude in Spanish Gibraltar,
and the climax is a gun battle between the Tangier civil police and the smugglers
on the North African shore of the Mediterranean.
