Five Steps to Danger

After his car breaks down on the way to a fishing vacation, drifter John Emmett (Sterling Hayden) accepts a ride from Ann Nicholson (Ruth Roman), whose story has more turns than Emmett expected — including a murder charge and experience in Cold War espionage. With Communist spies and CIA agents hot on their trail, sparks fly between the two strangers in this adventure drama, also starring Werner Klemperer as a persistent spy.
