Velka (Killers Are Challenged)

Velka (Suzy Andersen) is a Russian Spy in the 1966 Eurospy film, "Killers Are Challenged", which was originally called "A 077 Sfida Al Killers".
We first see Velka sunning herself on the side of a hotel pool in Casablanca. She is approached by Richard Harrison (Bob Fleming), a CIA agent posing as Coleman, one of the three scientists still remaining who has created a new energy process that will render oil obsolete. A Texas oilman Tommy Sturges (Aido Cecconi) has killed two of them as the film begins and now he is after Coleman. However, Coleman has plastic surgery to change his appearance. Velka is not only a Russian Spy, but is also the mistress of Tommy Sturges. She has infiltrated his ring and won his trust.
Velka recognizes that she can use Harrison in order to eliminate Sturges' gang of thieves, which includes his henchwoman, Moira (Mitsouko) and Halima (Janine Reynaud), as well as their boss, Terry Coleman (Wandisa Guida). In one exchange, Velka pulls a gun on Harrison, only to allow it to be taken by him. When she leaves, she is followed into a courtyard. It is here that Velka's Russian associates attempt to kill Harrison. They are able to knock him out, and are about to throw him in a pool of water. However, Velka tells them that he is still useful to them.
While spying on Harrison, she figures out that he has been knocked out by Sturges' men and is being guarded on his bed in his apartment, which is located on the floor below Velka's. Velka uses a rope to make her way off of her balcony and down to Harrison's room. There she entices the guard with her bikini body, to come out to the balcony. While there, she knocks him out, and the guard falls to his death. She then unties Harrison, who heads to the hideout.
After Moira and Halima are killed, Harrison follows Terry to a shipping yard, where Sturges is located. A fight takes place between Sturges' men and Harrison. In the meantime, Terry gets $100,000 from Sturges and makes her get away in a boat. Velka comes to the aid of Harrison, and they defeat all of Sturges' men. Harrison then shoots Sturges, as he attempts to take out Harrison and Velka.
We don't see Velka in Geneva, but this is where Terry is killed by poison and being drowned in the river. Harrison heads home only to find the Russian spy Velka waiting for him in his apartment. They drink champagne together, but realize that they still have irreconcilable differences. She failed her mission, but still got some of what her organization wanted her to accomplish.
