Martin must contend with the girls' fathers all of whom are wealthy, connected and concerned. Sloat (Attenborough) is the head of Black September and is connected with the kidnappings and is subsequently hunted down.

The film opened to hostile reviews and is generally seen as a lesser work of Preminger's. "Time" magazine's title for its review was [http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,917299,00.html| Rose Dud] .
