Handlung
Colonel Casey hat erfahren, daß einige Militärs einen Putsch gegen den amerikanischen Präsidenten anzetteln wollen. Die befürchten nämlich, daß dessen Abrüstungspolitik eine Gefahr für den Frieden sei. Beweise dafür hat er allerdings nicht, und ihm bleiben nur wenige Tage, seine Ahnungen zu beweisen, denn der Tag des Putsches ist nicht mehr fern.
