Emmett has the misfortune of having his car break down on the way to his month-long fishing vacation. Fortunately for him Mrs. Ann Nicholson (Ruth Roman) offers him a ride as far as Santa Fe, as long as he shares in the driving. She is in a rush to get to the city and meet up with a Dr. Reinhart Kissel. It seems that Ann is a native of Berlin and has the secret plans for an Intercontinental Missile that she must deliver to Kissel. However, some baddies have gotten word that she is carrying the plans and try to stop her. But luckily for the couple, the FBI are also in the know and try to prevent the Communists from getting to them and the blueprints.
