'Danger!! Death Ray' (Italian: 'Il Raggio infernale', lit. 'The Infernal Ray'Blake, Deal, p.56) is a 1967 Italian Eurospy secret agent spy film starring Gordon Scott.

The film was satirized on a 1995 episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Synopsis



Scientist Jean Karl Michael invents a death ray which, according to him, is for "peaceful purposes". He arranges to demonstrate the ray to a group of European NATO representatives. As he is demonstrating it, a group of enemy agents disguised as NATO officials steals the death ray, kidnap the scientist, and escape by car under the cover of night. Following a pursuit and gun battle, they escape by helicopter which lands on a submarine and is discarded as the submarine submerges.

As Agent Bart Fargo is about to go on vacation, he is given the assignment of retrieving the death ray and saving the scientist. He travels to Barcelona on a lead to find an evil organization that may be behind this. Rooting out a nest of spies in an ever-enclosing trail, Fargo meets a lady when he hides in her house from the opposition and befriends an enemy agent who later helps him to stop the evil organization.
