Adapted from a popular (and still-ongoing) Italian comic-book series, Danger: Diabolik takes place in a Europe where square authority figures spend a lot of time combating a masked criminal named Diabolik, played with icy cool and a deadly stare by John Phillip Law. A kind of rogue, epicurean Batman, Law lives in an underground lair lushly appointed with the latest mod furnishings: immense his-and-hers showers, an oversized rotating bed, and of course, a curvy partner in crime (Marisa Mell) to fill both.

Diabolik is a master criminal, pulling off one spectacular robbery after another to the endless frustration of the police. Ruthless and amoral, he nonetheless deeply loves Eva, and will risk everything to protect her. As his crimes become ever more spectacular, and the government teeters on the brink of chaos, even organized crime is pressed into service in order to capture the man.
