The Von Trapp home is thus turned into a gloomy place of order and discipline, until the arrival of a new governess: Frauline Marie who is from a nearby Salzburg abbey. Marie shows the Von Trapp children the miracle of the Sound of Music, and teaches them how to sing. Captain von Trapp’s heart opens up to feelings he had forgotten and he and Marie fall in love.

A freelance villain called ‘The Black Lily’ (Umberto Raho) has stolen a new, ultra-powerful type of bomb (’the bloody mary’) from the British Army, and plans to sell it to the highest bidder, with the Chinese being particularly interested. The American Secret Service, though, isn’t happy with this, so call up their top agent, Dick Malloy, to get it back (and deal with villains while doing so). Bizarrely, Malloy seems to know exactly who ‘the black lily’ is, a plastic surgeon who runs a clinic in the French countryside, and luckily enough there’s another agent, Elsa Freeman (Helga Line), who happens to be working undercover there.

With Elsa’s help, Malloy discovers that the bomb is to be shipped from Barcelona to Athens, where it is to be collected by the Chinese. Seizing his chance, Malloy grabs himself a berth on the liner and sets about stealing it back… However, his plans don’t allow for the involvement of a number of Russian agents (who are equally interested in obtaining ‘the bloody mary’) and a traitor in his own camp.
