Plot

After foiling a Soviet break in at the

health spa
.

Another patient present at the health spa is Mr. Spring, the head of the Magnus international food corporation. Unknown to each other, Spring is also the secret head of an unnamed criminal organisation. Spring and Tont become rivals for the romantic attention of Nurse Clarissa with each attempting to injure or kill each other when engaged in their therapeutic treatments. Spring appears to be the winner when Tont is found frozen to death inside an isolation tank that Nurse Clarissa placed him in.

The British Secret Service revives Tont who has only been cryogenically frozen but uses his well publicised death to enable him to infiltrate a criminal scheme to attack an unknown religious centre in a project called "Operazione D.U.E./Operation T.W.O.". The organisation is also attempting to steal components to assemble a powerful weapon called a synchrophasotron.

Tont travels to London disguised as a

Cape Kennedy
that contains the final element needed to create the synchrophasertron.

Using advanced electronic devices aboard Spring's yacht also named the Blue Dolphin, Tont's space capsule is brought down to be recovered by Spring. Spring and his cohorts pass the time by playing a James Bond board game. Identified by Spring's men, Tont is captured but discovers "Operazione D.U.E." means "Destruction Urbi Eterna", the destruction of the Eternal City; specifically Spring's plan to steal the treasures of the Vatican and destroy St. Peter's Basilica.
