Amos Burke, Secret Agent - "A Little Gift for Cairo"

The Man (Carl Benton Reid) tells him that he is to find weapons that are being sent in from Spain to a former ruler Sheik Farid (Ron Whelan), who is trying to muscle his way back into power in Cairo. He sneaks into the room of Patricia Quinn, who is engaged to Whelan, and persuades her to help him. Jeanette Nolan is Burke's middle-aged helper. She picks the pocket of an assistant of Paul Genge, who is doing the actual smuggling, and comes up with evidence against him, but before he can talk he is assassinated. Whelan discovers that Quinn has a microphone in her jewelry, but she persuades him that she knew nothing about it. They take Quinn and Burke "for a ride," but they escape (after some unbelievably poor shooting by the bad guys).
