The Hamburg Switch

An elderly scientist wishes to defect from East Berlin and Mark Farrow is assigned to the operation, accompanied by a raw recruit from the Section. Almost from the outset, things go wrong, but after a brutal series of events, Farrow defies all the odds to claw the old professor across from East to West. Several unknown factions are out to grab the scientist for their own ends, but Farrow stubbornly refuses to accept as inevitable the devious betrayal which snatches his prize away.
