The Weapon

Burke heads to London to battle power-crazed tycoon Alexander Szabo, a maniac who possesses a deadly truth serum. Szabo uses the serum on top government officials who, after revealing secret information, are then caused to commit suicide by the drug's effects.

Amos Burke takes on Szabo, a villain with a penchant to get people - certain people with top secret plans - to tell him the truth and that via his cigar which has a needle imbedded inside. A Truth serum that beats scopolamine anyday as soon as the person gets punctured by needle he spills out the goods then jumps from a window or in front of a train. David Scheiner plays the villain with a foreboding menace, hence adding to the tension. What if Burke gets injected? He will probably spill out all the gals he had kissed! Dyan Cannon plays Szabo's estranged wife. Of course, Burke links up with her, to reach Szabo. A good entry.
