Summary:
Doc Levy is an American secret agent; Szell is an escaped Nazi war criminal. Believing that Doc has stolen a cache of gems, Szell has Doc killed, then kidnaps Doc's innocent brother Babe and tortures him. Babe, who knows nothing of gems, escapes, breaking his own rule of nonviolence to defend himself against his pursuers. Babe overpowers Szell and forces the old man to swallow his valuable diamonds. This film traces Babe Levy's progression from pacifistic naif to cynical street-smart scrapper.
