Nicholas Foley appears to be an ordinary American psychology professor. He is, in fact, a Russian spy, inserted into the United States after World War II, joining the American army, attending American universities, falling in love and marrying an American, but always in touch with his Soviet superiors.

Eluding both, Foley uses his tool to strike a blow for world peace, as envisioned by a Sixties hippie, his wife
