Where the Spies Are

Where the Spies Are is a 1965 British comedy adventure film directed by Val Guest and starring David Niven, Françoise Dorléac, John Le Mesurier, Cyril Cusack and Richard Marner.

Together they discover a communist plot to assassinate the pro-British Prince of Zahlouf, thereby threatening Britain's eastern oil treaties.

Having discovered the assassination plot, Love manages to foil it by wrestling a rifle out of the hands of the hitman masquerading as one of the background "Arabs" in Vicki's photoshoot.

Stanilaus, the top Russian spy in the region, smuggles him aboard the "Dove of Peace", a jet returning to Russia after a propaganda tour of the world, and tries to extract information from him.

Simmias, the Russian agent responsible for orchestrating the assassination, defects, fearing the consequences of his failure; he reveals Love's predicament to the British.

When the plane flies over Canada, the British arrange a fake emergency and request that the jet land to transport victims out, but Stanilaus refuses.

However, Love is able to activate a device hidden in a cavity in his tooth that disrupts the jet's avionics, and Stanlaus reluctantly agrees to help.
