Secret agent Justin Power is tracking down a dastardly plot by a secret organisation to explode a nuclear device somewhere in the USA. He is helped by a gorgeous exotic mysterious woman and a device which can move him a short time forwards or backwards in time.
The potential in this conventional spy story derives entirely from the time-hopping device, which is both underused and unimaginatively used. The rest of it is very much typical of TV series of the time (indeed, it was originally intended for TV) in terms of production values, excepting only its widescreen presentation. Direction is dull and Jeffrey Hunter, as Power, does not make a thrilling protagonist. France Nuyen is an attractive mystery woman, but Harold "Oddjob" Sakata shows why he never had a great big screen career after Goldfinger.
Verdict: feeble. However, it is on Youtube if you're interested.
