Eventually, he worked himself up to division manager, "hating every minute...

Both present problems, and before the problems are solved, poor Tony and Senta have been pursued through some of the finest scenery in Morocco by a couple of hilariously heinous international crooks portrayed by Herbert Lorn and a new menace named Klaus Kinski, who looks like Truman Capote with muscles...
