The Professional Plot and Cast
Josselin Beaumont, a French secret agent, is assigned to kill Njala, the president for life of Malawi. When French policy changes and the assassination is no longer an option, high-ranking officials deliberately hand Beaumont over to the Malawian authorities instead of recalling him. He is arrested, tried, and imprisoned, but manages to escape. Back in Paris after a two-year absence, he informs his superiors through Colonel Martin that he will fulfill his contract during Njala's upcoming official visit between the 12th and 15th of this month, and that he has scores to settle with the D.G.S.E. The question remains: should Beaumont be stopped or not?
