action
In France, a US-style crime syndicate appears to have been established that smuggles heroin . The gangsters don't shy away from murder either if they see their business endangered: three dead are already on the account. Now the agent Claude Lambert is put on the gang. But there is no end to the ghost. He too has no advice at first. In the end, the laborious and dangerous investigations are crowned with success: An international ring with an American at the top, covered by the reputable lawyer Maître Bianchini, had carried on the lively trade in the small white balls.
The gang defend themselves in vain; all of their attacks on Lambert and his intelligence officers fail; It is blown up when the majority of the clique falls into the trap that has been laid - the ringleaders had already been arrested or had killed one another.
Reviews
The Protestant film observer does not think much of the film: “An extremely boring agent film, even if it appears in colors and on a wide screen and its main actor is Robert Hossein. In addition, he seems rather primitive in his handicrafts, shows only poor acting skills and is characterized by rather stupid dialogues. ”The lexicon of international film comes to a similar assessment in a nutshell :“ Unimaginative, largely boring agent film. ”
