While Yugoslav dictator Tito is in Cuba settling international matters, a mysterious Phantom occupies the attention of the capital city. He exhibits spectacular driving manoeuvres using a white Porsche car. Through the radio the Phantom challenges the police to try and catch him. The police cannot believe there is someone so crazy to dare challenge them, but when they realize he is actually doing so, it is too late; more than 10000 people are in the streets supporting their hero; it is not easy to eliminate him in public. The Phantom becomes a political threat, which must be eliminated...
