Plot: Romulus and Remus are two CIA agents, their direct instructor is John Elliott. They both were picked up at an orphanage by Elliott at the age of about eight, raised together as brothers and specially trained to supersede every other agent in the service. This is what they know. What they do not know is that they are part of a system Elliott had invented to build up his own private army of pros which can be assigned to any job he wishes. One day Romulus takes over a job in the course of which he and his team blow up a house and about half a dozen civilians with it. After that Romulus feels he is being chased by both men of the CIA and the Mossad. He has to find out that Elliott betrayed both him and Remus from the start. Elliott used them and others, which were recruited and raised the same way Romulus and Remus were, to support a secret agreement that was constituted between top secret service leaders of England, France, Russia, Germany and the USA after the second world war. To its effect it says that no nation shall make greater progress in any field than all the others are. The conspirators intend to preserve the status quo in both economical and political aspects. As Romulus, now joined by Remus and a female Mossad- executive he was romantically involved with years ago, finds out about all of this he wants to take revenge on Elliott who in his opinion stole not only their lives, but also many more and destroyed thousands of others.

Before the wedding, the saw fails again and Jed is killed. Steve hammers the machine to bits in a rage and, after breaking the news to June, flays Whittaker for not replacing the defective saw. To cover up his own negligence, Whittaker accuses Steve of killing Jed out of jealousy and then smashing the saw in an effort to cover up the crime. Steve is jailed for murder. June testifies on his behalf and the conscientious Judge Hanley aids in freeing Steve. The townspeople and loggers still believe him guilty and make him feel like an outcast. A forest fire breaks out and Whittaker, leading a party of loggers into the woods to fight it, manages to get his men and himself trapped by the blaze. Steve, who knows the woods well, refuses to rescue the men, until persuaded to do so by June.

Quotes:

Kitty Lane: I hope you'll be interested in my collection of etchings, or whatever it is they hang on the walls here...

Kitty Lane: [to her Uncle Fred, who runs a greasy spoon] Your thoughts are just like your kitchen ... dirty.

Toby: [tries to grab Kitty's hand, but she pushes it away] Say Kit, won't you go to the show with me tonight?::Kitty Lane: For what?::Toby: Well, you can't do much with a crowd around.::Kitty Lane: That's why I like crowds. [Fred calls out an order from the kitchen, and Kitty walks away.]::Toby: [following her] But Kit, there's a lot of things I want to tell you.::Kitty Lane: Only one, Toby. And the answer is "no."::Toby: Don't you know any three-letter words?::Kitty Lane: Nix!::Toby: [good naturedly] Why you...::Toby's chum at diner #1: Hey Toby, come on! We got places to go!::Toby's chum at diner #2: Come on, cut the romance!::Toby's chum at diner #2: [as the crowd of young men leaves en masse, with Toby] Boy, you couldn't lure a woman out of a burning building.

Kitty Lane: [waiting on David at the diner] ... How come *you* never annoyed me?::David Livingston: Well, I don't like to compete with the whole college.::Kitty Lane: If I owned this joint I'd bust ya in the nose for that.::David Livingston: [looking up from the book he has been studying] Yes, and if I were your brother instead of a customer here, I'd spank you. I'd like to finish this chapter.::Kitty Lane: Well, go ahead, finish it someplace else where they burn incense or something.::David Livingston: Alright, I will. I don't like this place anyhow. You may be hot, but the coffee's cold. [gets up to leave] Keep the change.::Kitty Lane: [throws David's coin on the floor; then, under her breath:] Pinhead .... Nitwit ....::Kitty Lane: [finds his hat on the chair] Hey, you forgot your hat. [runs after him] Hey stupid, you forgot your hat!

Judge Forbes: [trying to bribe Kitty to give David up] I thought you'd prefer cash. Five thousand dollars. Merely for leaving town, immediately.::Kitty Lane: [She looks down at the bills in his hand, and slowly raises her head with a look of anger and contempt in her eyes.] What are you trying to make of me--what you wish I was? Something cheap and common, something that money can buy? [her anger rising] Well, you can't. Nobody can! You and the nice, decent people who sent you here are the real cheap ones ... trying to put a price on something there isn't any price for. [almost hysterical now] If that's being decent, I'm glad I'm common! [crying and screaming] If that's being rich, I'm glad I'm cheap, and I'm gonna stay cheap! Because no matter how cheap I am, I'm not for sale! [She throws the money in his face and runs out.]

Mrs. Helen Livingston: Tell her Mrs. Livingston is here.::Aunt Dot: Oh... that won't do her headache any good.
