International intrigue and murder in the stark, forbidding countryside of Malta, where 11-year-old Timothy (Mark Lester) is bored with his monotonous life. To help pass the hours he makes up far-fetched stories. So when he witnesses the assassination of a visiting President, his father and sister refuse to believe his vivid account. Only the assassin (Peter Vaughan) knows the story is true and he is determined to silence him permanently. By the time Timothy is able to convince anyone, it is almost too late. From the dark catacombs of Malta to the island's high cliffs, Timothy is stalked relentlessly as the assassin and his accomplice (Peter Bowles) pursue their victim on a hair-raising chase across the island.
