Terror in Tibet

On October 6, 1950 a pair of Chinese soldiers parachute into Tibet for the purposes of eliminating the Great Llama, and as one of the agents resembles the religious leader, to take his place in order to turn the Tibetans against their American allies. Sneaking into the Llama's temple at night they murder the peaceful man in his bed, leaving the Chinese spy open to take his place.

Months later on December 15, Kent Blake is called into the office of Mr. Kruger who informs Blake that his next assignment will take him into Tibet to learn why the Great Llama, originally a peaceful man, has suddenly changed his ways and has been preaching a holy war on the west. Kruger tells Kent that he is to try and convince the Llama to call off his "Jihad of Hate" before it inflames people across the continent of Asia and spread into a war across Europe and into the United States.

The next day, Kent Blake is flown out of Washington D.C. destined for Tibet. Over the Asian continent they are attacked by Chinese fighter planes and his pilot is fatally shot by their fire. The plane crashes, but an injured Kent Blake survives the crash and crawls out of the burning wreckage. Although he gets clear from the crash, he is knocked unconscious when the plane explodes. When Kent comes around he finds himself being cared for by some Tibetan men who have hidden him from Chinese soldiers. He learns that one of the men is the Great Llama's brother, Nai Dali who has been transporting them to the temple in order to hear his brother's speech and expresses his concern with his sudden change in sentiments towards the west and how he has denounced his previous teachings of peace.

Nai Dali hides Kent Blake in a basket until they reach the temple of the Llama. There the Llama's brother meets with the "Great Llama" and realizes that he is an imposter. The other Chinese spy covers his mouth to stop him from revealing the truth and Kent Blake's hiding place is soon found and he too is taken prisoner. When the imposter orders Kent and Nai Dali to be killed, Blake fights the soldiers off. Seizing a gun from one of the guards, Kent shoots his attackers. Dying the imposter tells Nai Dali that they murdered his brother and that failure for the Great Llama to make his speech, the people will be inflamed into a bloody war.

With the speech scheduled to commence in moments, Kent Blake convinces Nai Dali to takes his slain brothers place and explain to the people what happened and tell them to continue living their peaceful lives. Surprisingly the honest speech pays off and the masses disburse to resume their normal lives. The new Great Llama thanks Kent Blake for all his help and the American Secret Service Agent flags down an American plane passing by and returns home to the United States with his mission accomplished.

After narrowly avoiding capture by Chinese soldiers, Kent goes over the next ridge and runs into an American soldier of fortune named Sam Bancroft. Bancroft identifies himself as working with the Nationalists and that they should wait until dark before they move. Kent questions why Bancroft would work for the Nationals when the Chinese government would pay him more for working for them. Sam explains that the government would have paid him in lead, and that General Wing allowed him to loot enemy bases after attacks until the resistance movement was forced to go underground.

Blake doesn't fully trust Bancroft and sends him ahead when it's time to move. However, Bancroft proves his allegiance when they are spotted by Chinese troops that open fire on them by shooting back. They manage to escape the soldiers and sneak back to General Wing's secret hideout located in an abandoned farm house.

When they return, Wing accuses Bancroft of being a spy and orders him executed, but Blake pleads him to let Sam defend himself. However, just as Bancroft is about to be executed a soldier returns and informs them that their hidden tanks are being bombed. Realizing that Wing was the only one who knew where the tanks were hidden, Blake realizes that General Wing is really the traitor.

Hopping into an armoured truck, Blake drives into the path of the firing squad saving Bancroft's life. Wing then admits that he is really a Communist spy but gloats over the fact that his troops don't know as he is speaking in English and they don't understand the language. Suddenly, Chinese bombers begin attacking the secret base and Wing attempts to make a break for a plane. Blake jumps onto the wing of the plane and as he struggles with Wing, Bancroft -- who hopped onto the other wing -- fires a shot that kills the traitor. With Wing dead, Blake convinces Bancroft to return to the resistance and lead them. Agreeing to do so, Bancroft parachutes out of the plane and Kent turns the plane around and returns back home.
