Recaps from where McGill decoyed his tails away, scenes we did not see before. Taiko is questioned by Michaels who then briefs his agents on getting McGill by any means necessary. It is revealed that with the money is espionage material and that McGill is innocent of what he was charged with six years ago. The Russians have a man on every ship to Lisbon and McGill is worth $11,000 to the finder, dead. McGill is given instructions for arrival in Lisbon by the Captain, Norman Rossington like you've never seen him before. Taiko goes home to Tokyo. An officer, Ryan tries to blackmail McGill into giving him $1,000 and he and his three mates get nasty when McGill refuses. McGill gets a bad wound in the shoulder from Ryan but his gun sends the three on their way and smashes Ryan to the floor. Lisbon, and McGill goes ashore hidden in a crate but in a secluded place, the sailors knock him out and rob him of his money and the necessary papers. He eventually staggers into Lisbon and finds his contact address. Lucia takes care of him after he collapses from loss of blood. The Americans trace McGill to Lisbon. In his fever McGill has delusions but makes a quick recovery. The Captain has sold him out and McGill is followed to the bank where he does a passable signature. Bert arrives, supposedly to use a safe deposit box. He shoots McGill and only hits the metal box. McGill kills him. Outside, Americans stop McGill from posting his money home. McGill is in a hospital bed and Michaels gives him $30,000 for the money and papers from the box, also a new passport and his suitcase. McGill tells him to give half the money to Lucia. Given Taiko's address in Tokyo, he thinks about it, then discards it. Ron Randell as Michaels, Yoko Tani as Taiko, Anton Rodgers as Max Stein, Norman Rossington as Captain, Aubrey Morris as Kenneth, Gay Hamilton as Lucia, Simon Brent as Bert, Harry Landis as Ryan.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- Gay Hamilton (Lucia) remembers thoroughly enjoying working with Richard Bradford. 'He was very kind to me and fun, but was very much of the Marlon Brando school of Method acting. I recall on one occasion when I was supposed to be nursing him through a fever and the make up girl came to spray his brow with water and he said 'No, no it has to be glycerine because I'm in a cold sweat!' I think he kept to the script mostly but he mumbled quite a lot!'
