Spurred on by the murder of his drug-addicted sister by ruthless crime boss Frank McNally (Trevor Howard), US agent Charles Sturgis (Victor Mature) launches a transnational woman-hunt for McNally's shapely associate, Gina Broger (Anita Ekberg). His investigation takes him on a thrill-ride from New York to London, Lisbon, Rome, Naples and finally Athens. A globe-trotting adventure boasting a top-tier international cast, Pickup Alley affords the viewer shockingly frank portrayals of drug addiction; a glamourous travelogue of exotic locations, and intriguing depictions of sleazy villains.
