Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan learns, in a routine investigation, that a mysterious man, who calls himself "Booth", is planning to assassinate the President of the United States (unnamed in the film).

Booth continues to call Horrigan from time to time, even though he realizes that his calls are being traced.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation matches the print, but because the person's identity is classified, the agency chooses not to disclose it to the Secret Service.
