A wartime action-thriller about an American journalist exposing Japanese imperial ambitions in 1920s Tokyo, driven by period propaganda and espionage tension.

Nick Condon, an American journalist in 20s Tokyo, publishes the Japanese master plan for world domination. Reaction from the understandably upset Japanese provides the action, but this is overshadowed by the propaganda of the time.
