CROSSPLOT

Gary Fenn is an advertising executive for a London agency who finds the perfect target and calculates the events which mean that only one girl will be good enough for his boss, Hungarian Marla Kugash. He finds her among the anti-war movement in the bohemian depths of Swinging London. She is in the company of a young man, Tarquin, who is extremely protective of her and overtly aggressive to Fenn.

The young Hungarian, an illegal refugee from her native homeland, accompanies Fenn to a photoshoot. However, she admits she is in fear of her life, and seems disturbed by the presence of her aunt. When she is nearly killed, the girl drops out of sight and Fenn has to go on the run himself, suspected of a separate murder. He locates her to a country house, which turns out to be the home of Tarquin, an aristocrat in spite of his anti-war sentiments.

It is revealed that Marla's aunt is part of a shadowy organisation trying to destabilise the existing world order so they can take over themselves. They will go to any length to try and shut Fenn and Marla up, including sending a helicopter after them. Fenn and his friend manage to escape to London, where they realise that the shadowy movement are planning to assassinate a visiting African head of state in Hyde Park. They manage to foil the plot.

Gary Fenn and his friend escape danger and successfully foil the assassination plot against the visiting African head of state in Hyde Park.

The ending brings the film’s disparate threads of glamour, suspicion, and political intrigue together, as Fenn and Marla’s flight from danger culminates in the prevention of a major political crime. The conspiracy is undone by quick thinking and courage, restoring order and vindicating the wrongly accused. While the finale pays off the film’s escalating suspense, it also cements its blend of style and substance—proving there’s more to London’s fashion scene than meets the eye.
