 Hayden K. Lorry (Philip Ayckbourn) is a British military operative who gets embroiled in a caper to track down an ancient Grecian Urn, called the Icarus Urn, or more appropriately named, the "Urn of Death." Lisabeth O Shaughnessy (Julie Rivier) is the elusive femme fatale who seduces Lorry into thinking he can save both himself and O Shaughnessy by locating the urn. But who is O Shaughnessy: needing and vulnerable damsel or complotting and villainous dame? Meanwhile, a myriad of hitmen affiliated with various organizations, including the Alexander Boys (the gay mob), are trying to track down both the urn and Lorry.
