Guy Van Stratten, American smuggler, leaves an Italian prison term with
one asset, a dying man's words about wealthy, mysterious Gregory
Arkadin. Guy finds it most pleasant to investigate Arkadin though his
lovely daughter Raina, her father's idol. To get rid of Guy, Arkadin
claims amnesia about his own life prior to 1927, sending Guy off to
investigate Arkadin's unknown past. Guy's quest spans many countries and
eccentric characters who contribute clues. But the real purpose of
Guy's mission proves deadly; can Guy himself survive it?
