In 1943, Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt meet at the Tehran conference to agree plans for the Allied invasion of Europe. Whilst attempting to trace ballerina Natalie Trubetzin (Marta Labarr), who he met before the outbreak of war, British journalist Pemberton Grant (Derek Farr) uncovers a deadly conspiracy. The plot, led by Paul Sherek (Manning Whiley), involves international arms dealers, who can't afford to, and do not wish to have peace declared, and plan to blow up President Roosevelt during his visit.
The Radio Times called the film a "shambolic British thriller";[5] TV Guide wrote, "Whiley's performance alone provides some semblance of acting, and the technical end is almost totally incompetent";[6] but Allmovie wrote, "Even though the audience knows the outcome, there's thrills aplenty in The Plot to Kill Roosevelt."[3]
