Trouble brews beneath the exotically curved towers of Istanbul when the equally exotic and equally curved Elizabeth Lipp (Melina Mercouri) recruits her former lover (Maximilian Schell) in a scheme to heist the pride of the city's Topkapi museum: a jewel-encrusted dagger. But the job soon turns into a high-tension, high-wire performance literally when the bumbling fall guy (Peter Ustinov) and other amateurs they’ve hired as help find they'll have to lift their prize while dangling from the museum's vaulted ceiling!
