Plot...

Dangle a rabbit in front of a greyhound or dangle a vintage Mercedes roadster in front of an antique car dealer. You get a similar reaction...Which is to say that the owner of Aristo Autos jumped at the chance to buy a Mercedes 540K from a little old lady down in Barming, Kent...for a wealthy client in Spain...Except that after he paid his deposit, somebody else drove his auto away, leaving the old lady in no condition to name that somebody. She was dead.Our hero followed his auto from England to Spain, from France to Switzerland, accompanied by a pretty girl, a lot of violence, and a disconcerting puzzle. Whoever wanted his Mercedes wanted more than a classic car. And what more was there?
