However, Hel is arrested for the crime and he is behind bars in Tokyo. After torturing for three years, CIA offers him to set free on a condition that he should repay for that by killing a Soviet commissioner in China. He has been accompanied and trained by a French gal in his mission, where they fall for each other.
