Up to His Ears

“That Man from Rio is UP the Himalayas... UP the Yang-tze... UP in a balloon... UP-stage with a stripper... UP-town in Hong Kong... You can't keep a great adventurer DOWN”

Arthur Lempereur (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a millionaire bored with his own life, pays an assassin to end it, then changes his mind and finds there is no calling the man off. Philippe de Broca sends him running with Alexandrine Pinardel (Ursula Andress) and a tangle of strangers, the stunts staged by Gil Delamare. Arthur has spent his money on dying and now spends every breath trying to stay alive.
