Synopsis
After U. S. radar installations in Greece have been jammed, N.A.T.O. security officer Robert Ford is gunned down while investigating the sudden appearance of some unusual black boxes containing electronic equipment. Ford's wife, Shanny, is blamed for the murder, and N.A.T.O. chief Sharps, who had previously made advances toward Shanny, orders her to leave Corinth. Knowing that Shanny will seek out her husband's killer, Sharps assigns Dex, another N.A.T.O. officer, to follow her. Shanny finally eludes Dex and contacts Alcibiades, Ford's informer, who tells her that Kalhides, a marble cutter, is behind the plot. That night Shanny enters Kalhides' marble quarry, where she is captured and then rescued from torture by a truckdriver who is himself murdered. Desperate for help, Shanny convinces Dex to accompany her on a return visit to the quarry, and they learn that the black boxes are being distributed in the heads of statues. When Sharps scoffs at their theory, Shanny escapes again but is abducted by Kalhides' men and taken to an island hideaway to be murdered. Dex arrives on the island by helicopter, kills Kalhides, and rescues Shanny. Later he decides to join Shanny on her return trip to the United States.
