Looking for a little freelance work to fill in the time before he goes back to his regular job, Shaver is recruited by a cynical spy named Petapiece (Denholm Elliott), the sort of fellow who sneaks a drag on someone's cigarette if it is left untended for a moment. Petapiece's proposition to Shaver is the elimination of Henke, a notorious...
