The sergeant's command "Present arms!" literally brings out the arms of the men in his company, heroin addicts all. Later, when all of the men are dead of overdoses -including the sergeant, whose name is, of course, Smack-it turns out that the CIA is the ultimate pusher...
...sworn statements buttressed with lie-detector tests, De Louette said that Fournier (the name is an alias) recruited him to smuggle the heroin last December.

Said Barberot: "My conviction is-and some will tell you so officially -that the operation was mounted by a certain number of SDECE ageats in Paris. De Louette had to be got rid of in the United States. It is the sequel of that operation that is coming...
...much for dialogue. Jennifer on My Mind is the saga of the ill-fated relationship born at this moment. Hero Marcus (Michael Brandon) is a footloose heir with a wallet and a head full of dough. Heroine Jennifer (Tippy Walker) is a flighty little psychopath with a couple of nasty habits-bitchiness and dope. After leading Marcus a merry chase from Venice to New York City and back again, she gives him the slip. He returns to the U.S. and settles down in an apartment in New Jersey, of all places, to try to forget. Jenny, by now badly strung...
