Plot summary
The American government sends a flying saucer on a top secret test flight; because its energy kills men, only a woman can fly it, and Sheila Sommers is the pilot chosen. Jose Ortega, the exiled ruler of an outlaw nation, uses a remote control device to bring the ship down at his base in Mexico. ICE agent Matt Helm is assigned to recover the saucer, and Sheila, posing as his wife, travels with him. In Mexico they face Ortega and his henchman Quintana, along with the enemy agent Francesca Madeiros, an operative for Helm's nemesis Big O, and an assassin called Nassim.
