By subjecting one of their own people to plastic surgery and re-education, the Reds create an exact replica of secret agent Jim Hunter (James Franciscus) for the purpose of using the false Hunter to get the true Hunter out of their hair. Their plan is to use the false Hunter to lure Baker (Ralph Bellamy), the US. Intelligence Kingpin who is Hunter's supervisor, into a trap and to kill him before witnesses, thereby framing the true Hunter for the murder of his boss. Proceeding with the first phase of the plan, the Soviet agents kidnap Hunter in order to isolate him temporarily. Then they palm off the false Hunter on Marty Shaw (Linda Evans), Hunter's lover and fellow secret agent, tensely waiting to see if the imposter will pass this most meticulous test.
