Synopsis by Hal Erickson

This all-star crime caper stars Mickey Rooney as an American airline purser whose greed gets the better of him. During a 24-hour layover in Beirut, he transports a cache of stolen goods, which brings him to the attention of a smuggler (Walter Slezak). Lex Barker is the pilot who reluctantly tries to bail the avaricious Rooney out.
