Premise
Cabot Cain is a Western secret agent assigned to stop the mysterious Agathon, an ex-World War II revolutionary, who is committing terrorist acts in Greece and Albania.[1]
Production
Nico Minardos obtained financing for the film from Kjell Qvale, a Bay Area-based automotive entrepreneur who was then the majority shareholder in Jensen Motors. Minardos had approached Qvale for a product placement deal to use a Jensen Interceptor during filming but ultimately convinced Qvale to finance the entire movie.[2]

gollark: Can you actually *give* one instead of just continuously pointing people toward other stuff?
gollark: How do you suggest I go around demonstrating this whole "electric universe" thing conveniently, then?
gollark: Although if you intend to destroy people by using physics which does not actually work, I'll be fine.
gollark: Destroying people would be mean, don't do that.
