An agent of the National Bureau of Investigation, Dave Pomeroy, investigates the death of a European nuclear scientist and discovers a Communist plot to detonate a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles in order to instigate World War III. Once the bomb is activated and Pomeroy receives a lethal dose of ionizing radiation from it, he sacrifices himself to save the city by flying the bomb out over the Pacific Ocean in a helicopter.
