Assignment - Paris

New York Herald Tribune reporter Jimmy Race (Dana Andrews) is sent to Budapest by his editor, Nick Strang (George Sanders), to help colleague Jeanne Moray (Marta Toren) investigate a rumored plot to overthrow Hungary's Communist dictatorship. After coming into possession of some microfilm that threatens to incriminate backers of the plot inside the government, Jimmy is arrested and jailed. Tortured, Jimmy is forced into confessing to being a spy, and Jeanne and Strang must put their faith in a man wanted by the Communist authorities in order to help gain his freedom. (Verleiher-Text)
