John Marlow, an American surgeon is tricked into performing a risky surgeon on Niva, the dictator of Vosnia, a fictional police state (think Tito and Jugoslavia) and he gets into serious trouble when Niva dies.
Niva's creepy right arm Galcon wants the people to vote for Neva in the forthcoming elections and he decides to eliminate Marlow because he knows too much. There follow a daring escape to Vosnia's capital city, where Marlowe meets a charming lady, quite unwilling to help but somehow forced into it.
The plot works perfectly well, the characters are engaging and there is enough suspence to keep the audience interested. My only negative remark is that the story is told as a long flashback, so that you know (or think to know) already how it is going to end, except for a last minute surprising twist.
