A rolling Fort Knox is how the journalists describe the Presidential motorcade as it enters San Francisco across the Golden Gate. Even the ever-watchful FBI believe it is impregnable -- as it has to be with the President and two Arab potentates aboard.
But halfway across the bridge, the unthinkable happens. Before the eyes of the world, a master-criminal brings offs the most spectacular kidnapping in modern times...

MacLean reuses the assassination-attempt formula, cuts himself in on a high stake game, and plays it for all it's worth ... the Golden Gate bridge ... the president of the US, an Arab king ... an Arab prince, two ministers ... a real megalomaniac (Peter Branson) [and] Paul Revson, plain-clothes FBI super-operative. Barely there is a pretty press correspondent April Wednesday, but then there's not much time for her while there's lots else to usurp the attention of MacLean's steady transceivership.
