English Summary:

Guy Van Stratten (Robert Arden), a small-time American smuggler working in Europe, is found desperately trying to get a man called Jakob Zouk (Akim Tamiroff) to leave his bare, ruinous room in Munich and come with him to safety. When Zouk alleges that he's dying and doesn't want to be disturbed, Guy desperately tells him why he has to come. We see the story in flashback as he narrates it to Zouk.

In the flashback, Guy is with his girlfriend and accomplice Mily (Patricia Medina) in Naples when a man named Bracco is knifed in the street. Bracco does not want his last moments to be taken up with doctors and police, and he rewards the couple for not calling them with two names that he says will be profitable to them: he names Gregory Arkadin to Guy, and one “Sophie” to Mily. They get away as Bracco dies, and approach Arkadin, a famous and super-wealthy businessman (Orson Welles), to see if the murder and vague references to his “secret” can be used to blackmail him. Arkadin's only human tie in a life of power and pleasure is his daughter Raina (Paola Mori), and Guy manages to strike up an acquaintance with her and thus get into Arkadin's castle in Spain. He and Raina also develop feelings for each other, though they cover them up with cool sophistication.

Hungarian Summary:

A különc pénzmágnás, Mr. Arkagyin hollétéről egyedül a Münchenben élő, kiöregedett piti szélhámosnak van valami sejtelme. Ezért keresi fel Guy Van Stratten, a cigarettacsempészettel is próbálkozó volt kalandor, aki korábban Arkagyin lányán, Rainán keresztül ismerkedett meg a titokzatos milliomossal. A csodabogár akkor azzal bízta meg: derítse fel a múltját, mivel - állítása szerint - amnéziában szenved. Az alkalmi nyomozó egyre mélyebbre merül a múlt bugyraiba.
