Output (English): In Copenhagen in 1962, a highranking Soviet intelligence officer, Boris Kusenov PerAxel Arosenius, defects to the West. During debriefing, CIA agent Mike Nordstrom John Forsythe learns that Russian missiles with nuclear warheads are to be placed in Cuba. Needing physical evidence, Nordstrom discloses Kusenovs name to French agent Andre Devereaux Frederick Stafford, asking him to bribe Luis Uribe Donald Randolph, a member of Cubas U.N. delegation, to provide photographs of documents confirming the missile bases in Cuba. Devereaux decides to accompany his daughter Michele Claude Jade on her honeymoon to New York City with soninlaw Francois Picard Michel Subor. In New York, a FrenchMartinican agent, Philippe Dubois Roscoe Lee Browne, is to contact Uribe, who is the secretary to Cuban official Rico Parra John Vernon, who is staying at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem to show solidarity with the black community. Dubois sneaks into the hotel. He bribes Uribe to take the documents from Parras office to photograph. Parra catches Dubois photographing the documents. Chased and shot at by Cuban revolutionaries, Dubois purposefully knocks into Devereaux—who was watching events from the other side of the street—and slips him the camera. A redheaded Cuban guard helps Devereaux to get up, but lets him go. Dubois escapes into the crowd around the hotel. Dubois photos confirm that the Soviets are placing missiles in Cuba. Devereaux, despite his wifes accusations of infidelity, flies to Cuba. His mistress, Juanita de Cordoba Karin Dor, was the widow of a hero of the Revolution. This enables her to work undercover in the resistance. Upon his arrival, Devereaux finds Parra another lover of hers leaving Juanitas mansion. Devereaux asks Juanita to take photos of the missiles. Juanitas loyal domestic staff, Carlotta and Pablo Mendoza, pose as picnickers and photograph the missiles. Pursued, the two hide the incriminating film before they are captured. During a mass rally and lengthy speech by the lider maximo, the redheaded Cuban guard recognizes Devereauxs face from the New York incident. Parra has heard from the tortured Carlotta Mendoza that Juanita is their leader. He embraces her, shooting her dead to save her from extreme torture. At the Havana airport, the Cuban authorities fail to find the microfilms on Deveraux. When Devereaux gets back, his wife has left him. Devereaux is to be recalled to Paris. Kusenov tells him about the existence of a Soviet spy organization called Topaz within the French intelligence service. He is given the name of NATO official Henri Jarre Philippe Noiret, who leaked documents to the KGB. Devereaux researches the leak. He invites some of his old friends and colleagues, including Jarre, to a lunch at a fine Paris restaurant under the pretext of helping Devereaux prepare for his inquiry. Devereaux tells the others about Topaz, in order to provoke some reaction. Jarre claims it is misinformation, and says that Kusenov died a year ago. Jarre starts to panic. He visits the leader of the spy ring, Jacques Granville Michel Piccoli. Devereaux, Nicole, and Granville were close friends from their days together in the French Resistance. Granville tells Jarre it was a mistake to say Kusenov was dead; the Americans will easily discover that Jarre is lying. As Jarre is leaving Granvilles house, Devereauxs wife arrives to meet Granville, her lover. Devereaux sends his soninlaw, Francois, to interview Jarre. Devereaux and Michele rush to Jarres flat and find Jarre dead, a staged suicide. Francois has disappeared. After being clubbed and kidnapped, Francois managed to escape from his captors car with an overheard phone number and his sketch of Jarre. Nicole tells her family, with tearful eyes, that the phone number is Granvilles, so he must be the leader of the Topaz organization. Granville is exposed and then commits suicide in the USA and French versions or flees to the Soviet Union in the British version.
