John Drake plays a grim and dangerous type of Russian roulette with members of a spy ring to discover which one has betrayed a British spymaster who has disappeared but is believed to be still alive, despite efforts to make it appear that he is dead. Everything about the death of a man named Standfast (VINCENT HARDING) appears to be conclusive. His burned body has been found after a car crash In Switzerland. But John Drake (PATRICK McGOOHAN), sent to investigate, discovers the one clue to prove that the body was not Standfast's: his teeth.The Swiss police chief, Major Schulman (PAUL EDDINGTON), has a shrewd idea that Standfaet was, or is, the British spymaster responsible for the control of a ring of spies in Switzerland, He strongly suspects, too, that Drake is not a legal representative, as he is pretending to be, checking on Standfast's death. He does, in fact, tell Drake point-blank that he believes him to be a secret agent.
