Bored with his life and stranded in North Africa, journalist David Locke (Nicholson) assumes the identity of a fellow hotel guest who has suddenly died. Locke soon learns that Mr Robertson, the man whose life he now lives, was working as a gunrunner and is targeted by numerous assassins. He meets a beautiful stranger (Maria Schneider) who travels with him, but the killers are on their heels.
