Shots in Threequarter Time
Shots in Threequarter Time (, ) is a 1965 crime film directed by Alfred Weidenmann.
Plot
The film begins in Paris. Carrying a metal suitcase, a man called Bérard flees from his pursuers. He boards a chairlift and, following instructions received on a walkie-talkie, at a certain point he lets the suitcase drop to the ground. Then he is shot by an unrecognisable sniper. The suitcase contains a strictly guarded NATO controller for missiles. The so-called B 501 was stolen and is now in enemy hands. There is just this one device and, accordingly, frenzy prevails at the Paris command post of NATO. Given eight days to recover it, the colonel in command puts his best man, secret agent Philippe Tissot, on the case. Tissot adopts the code name "Caesar" for his undercover operation and starts tracking down the missing device.
