West and Gordon are tasked with infiltrating the stronghold of corrupt political boss John Maxwell Avery and returning him to Washington, D. C. for trial. They pose as a pair of traveling players who "accidentally" wander into Avery's domain; not surprisingly, getting in is much easier than getting ''out'', especially since they have to get a very unwilling Avery out too...
