American young woman Richie Lambert (Audrey Hepburn) encounters a man who claims to be Pete Joshua (Gary Grant) at the Megeve ski resort in France. When Rui Ji returned to Paris, she found her home was looted and her husband Charles was killed. Ricky was summoned by the US Embassy and met CIA agent Hamilton (played by Walter Matthau), only to discover that the three strangers who appeared at Charles’s funeral were his companions who had embezzled gold during World War II: Tykes (James). James Coburn (James Coburn), Herman (George Kennedy) and Leopold (Ned Glass). Hamilton asks Ruiji to help the government find the missing gold, and three strangers also pursue Ruiji. Pete suddenly appeared to save the United States in a crisis. Just as Richie fell into love, the three monsters were killed one after another, pointing at Pete, whose identity was unpredictable, and Richie also fell into an unprecedented crisis.
Gary Grant and Audrey Hepburn were nominated for Best Actor and Actress at the Golden Globe Awards for this film. Audrey Hepburn won the British Academy of Film and Television Award for Best Actress.
