Nicolai Dalchimski, a mad KGB agent steals a notebook full of names of "sleeping" undercover KGB agents sent to the U.S. in the 1950's. These agents got their assignments under hypnosis, so they can't remember their missions until they're told a line of a Robert Frost poem. Dalchimski flees to the U.S. and starts phoning these agents who perform sabotage acts against military targets.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot summary provided for 'Telefon' describes a Cold War thriller focused on espionage, sabotage, and sleeper agents activated by poetry triggers. There is no indication that the story is set during the Christmas season, that Christmas affects the plot, or that Christmas themes or iconography are present. The only noted element is 'Holiday Release,' which is insufficient for classification."
