Mark of the Phoenix

There not being enough maguffins in the world, a Belgian scientist has invented a new one. He is promptly killed, and the maguffin turned into a silver cigarette case. In that form, it simply drops in the hands of Sheldon Lawrence, a perfectly innocent jewel thief who is vacationing in Belgium to offer samples of his handiwork to his fence, who is promptly murdered because he turned the maguffin into the cigarette case.

Lawrence is a good-looking guy who is handy with his fists and promptly wins the heart of Julia Arnall, the fiancee of Eric Pohlmann, who wants the maguffin. Other people who want it are Anton Diffring, apparently the only homicide detective in Belgium, and Bernard Rebel. They run around and make deals with Lawrence, who has already stolen Pohlmann's jewel collection by this point, and take potshots at various people because the maguffin is worth, in the immortal words of Dr. Evil, "One million dollars!" in Berlin.

This being a second feature from Butcher's and directed by the indefatigable Maclean Rogers, it will kill an hour if you're not expecting anything brilliant.
