A lighthearted buddy-comedy adventure built on slapstick charm and musical interludes, where two lovable rogues stumble through international espionage with warmth and humor.

When Chester accidentally memorises and destroys the only copy of a secret Russian formula for a new and improved rocket fuel, he and Harry are thrust into international intrigue, trying to stay alive while keeping the formula out of enemy hands.
