Dr Kronen (Ludwig Donath), a nazi scientist on the run is being used by THRUSH agent Louis Strago (Jack Pallance) to use heavy water to divert the Gulf stream. Thus making Greenland into a tropical paradise, whilst also plunging other areas into the depths of winter. UNCLE agents Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) are soon on the case trying to stop the plot. Unfortunately for Solo he gets sidetracked when he's forced into a shotgun wedding to a Sicilian girl (Leticia Roman) that he has dishonoured and ends up being chased by her mobster uncles when he skips the ceremony.In this Man from UNCLE off shoot, (made from combining the two parter 'The Concrete Overcoat Affair' from season three of the series), they manage to meld the elements of comedy and thrills to produce a well rounded film. Aided by the fact that it features a wonderfully devilish baddy in Janet Leigh as Miss Diketon, who seems to get a sexual kick out of toying with and killing people.
