Haghi, bound to a motorized wheelchair, hides in a massive, secret lair, is a master of disguise, and runs agents using drugs, blackmail, miniature cameras, disappearing ink, state-of-the-art surveillance and communication devices, and, of course, sex. Lots of sex. No. 326 cracks Haghi’s operation by seducing his top female assassin, Sonya Baranilkowa (Gerda Maurus), who cannot resist the rogue spy’s charm.
