Cinema SUnday Presents In LIke FLint
4Plot\nAfter observing the launch of a new space platform, Z.O.W.I.E. Chief Lloyd C. Cramden joins President Trent for a game of golf. Their game is interrupted by the Fabulous Face organization. They succeed in knocking Cramden out, capturing the president and replacing him with an actor surgically altered to look like him. The Fabulous Face plans to control the world and run it entirely by a group of women. The first step in their plan is to gain control of a US space facility in the Virgin Islands. They establish a spa there as a cover. The women establish their headquarters near the rocket base and plant tape recorders in their hair dryers to brainwash their sisters.\n\nPuzzled by an apparent three-minute time discrepancy—revealed by a perusal of a stopwatch that was active during the switch—Cramden visits the former agent Derek Flint's apartment in New York. He is greeted by three women who lead them to Flint. Cramden requests him to investigate the mystery. Meanwhile, Lisa Norton, a Fabulous Face agent, talks to the three women and tricks them into accepting a visit to the spa. Cramden later encounters Norton at an Italian restaurant. Disguised as a southern tourist, she drugs him with "euphoric acid" (a soporific substance) and stages a compromising scene with a prostitute at a hotel; the scene is then photographed and published under the auspices of General Carter, who is working with Fabulous Face. With Cramden framed as a libertine, the "imposter" President publicly suspends him from active duty.\n\nDerek Flint eventually hypnotizes Cramden with his special watch and learns what really happened. Investigating further, Flint breaks into Z.O.W.I.E. headquarters and discovers the two astronauts on the recently launched space platform are actually Russian female cosmonauts. Flint is interrupted by General Carter and turncoat guards who, after a struggle, believe they have killed Flint when he apparently falls into a document incinerator.\n\nHaving actually escaped his demise, Flint travels to the Soviet Union to continue his investigatiom. Dancing in the Bolshoi ballet, he makes contact with ballerina Natasha. She actually is a Fabulous Face operative and attempts to drug him with euphoric acid. Flint foils Natasha's designs and tries to interrogate her but is interrupted by the KGB, who want to bring him to the Soviet Premier. Flint escapes their clutches. He next sneaks into the Kremlin and overhears the Premier bluffing the fake U.S. President; conversational clues point to the spa.\n\nCramden also travels to the spa to investigate further but is captured and imprisoned with the real President. Fabulous Face, in anticipation of Flint coming to the spa, have imprisoned his girl friends in cryogenic chambers. Flint boards a flight for Cuba disguised as a revolutionary. Distracting the other passengers, he ties up the pilots, parachutes out over the Virgin Islands, and swims to the Fabulous Face complex. There, he is intercepted by Norton, who brings him before the Fabulous Face leadership, a group of female business executives. Flint attempts to talk the women out of their plan but is interrupted by General Carter, who is dissatisfied with his subordinate role and plans to take power himself with the aid of the fake president. After a fight, Flint is captured by Carter's men and placed, along with Cramden, the captive President, and the Fabulous Face leadership, into cryogenic suspension. Flint escapes his chamber. He decides to join sides with the women in stopping Carter's plan to atomically arm the space station. Flint, Cramden, President Trent, and the women travel to the base where the launch is scheduled to take place. There, the women seduce and subdue the male guards. After they take over the control room, Carter (who is on board the rocket) threatens to activate his atomic warheads unless he is allowed to proceed with the launch. Flint boards the capsule before it takes off; once in orbit, he and Carter fight, causing the spacecraft to tumble. After overpowering Carter, Flint escapes the capsule, which is then destroyed with Carter trapped inside by a missile launched from the surface. Flint then manages to float to a nearby space platform, where he enjoys the hospitality of the resident female cosmonauts while awaiting return to Earth.
