Summary:
French New Wave legend Claude Chabrol took a turn into the Eurospy genre with this '60s-chic romp. On a train bound for Switzerland, a secret agent entrusts Marie-Chantal with a jewel in the shape of a panther with ruby eyes. Unbeknownst to her, this jewel contains a virus powerful enough to destroy all humankind. The fiendish Doctor Kha is just one among many spies from different nations trying to get their hands on the panther. But the cool-as-ice Marie-Chantal will evade all attacks by sheer female cunning, and shows panther-like qualities in dealing with her male, and female, foes.
