Plot – Emmett Fitz-Hume is a lazy old-movies nostalgic and an agent for US intelligence. Austin Millbarge is a good technician that the Pentagon has secured for the operation of its underground laboratories. They are both bored by their daily duties and aspire to carry out important missions and that's when generals and politicians think of using the strange couple as bait for a risky espionage mission. After a short period of ludicrous training, they leave for their mission, that is to hunt down a Soviet missile warhead. However, what they will actually be doing is to act as a target for the Russians, while the two "real" secret agents will take on the real mission. The two will obviously overcome every risk and every difficulty, thanks to spectacular stratagems and a light touch, managing to mock both the KGB and the CIA, ending their adventure uninjured with the beautiful Karen Royer, the usual unbeatable Amazon.
