action

Max Teligan is a successful novelist. However, his unpublished diary entries are in great demand. Terry Wilde, who poses as an American film producer, meets with Teligan in Munich and makes him an extremely lucrative offer to acquire the world rights for this diary. Shortly after the negotiations, Wilde, who was actually a CIA agent, is found murdered at Munich Airport. Wilde had given Teligan a microfilm in his trunk without his knowledge. Thereupon a bitter dispute breaks out over the microfilm and the manuscript, in which secret services and various terrorist organizations are ultimately interested. More murders happen. Teligan turns on his friend Dave Hamley from Scotland Yard, who is now running the investigation in the background and ultimately clears it up. Teligan doesn't even know why there is such interest in his diary.
