Plot: Department of State courier Mike Kells ends up in postwar hotbed Trieste after failing to collect a package from a colleague. The Military Police are happy for him to get more involved, but things get a bit tough. After all, he is just a postman.
Alternative Plot: During the Cold War, diplomatic courier Mike Kells (Tyrone Power) must retrieve a dispatch containing top-secret intelligence. But when he arrives at the meeting point, a train station in Salzburg, his contact turns up dead, and the message is nowhere to be found. With no clear suspect in sight, Kells must sort through his uncertain relationships with two women (Patricia Neal, Hildegarde Neff), while sidestepping the pitfalls of subterfuge, sabotage and spies in his search for the documents.
