A lighthearted 1960s spy comedy built on mistaken identity and bumbling incompetence, where an ordinary man stumbles through Cold War intrigue with comedic charm.

In the 1960's, a school teacher pretends to be a CIA spy to get his nagging wife off his back. He helps a Russian ballet dancer defect and is then sent to Cuba to locate "Agent X" for the CIA.
