The Fighting Wildcats

American engineer Brett Manders, an expert in the use of explosives, quits his job in the Middle East after being paid $5,000 to extinguish an oil fire. Brett plans to fly from Baghdad to London to reunite with his girl friend, Pat Patterson, so Ismael, a truck driver who works for the oil firm, offers to give him a ride to Baghdad.

Langford suggests that Brett work with Tommy, a mechanic who can help assemble the bomb. Upon discovering that there is a vacant house for sale across from Sayed's property, Brett and Pat, posing as prospective buyers, gain access to the building and Brett makes a mold of the key. Meanwhile, Maj. Osborne and Lt. Jeff Collins of British Intelligence are notified of Men Hassa's murder and learn that she has a brother, Nuri, who works for Trans Desert Airways in London. As Brett meets with Tommy that night, Jeff slips into the Trans Desert office and photographs some papers documenting the airline's travel routes and ownership.
