The life of an eccentric violinist is turned upside down when he is mistaken for a C.I.A. agent.
In the midst of an internal power struggle at the CIA, Ross (Durning), chief of one branch of the agency, plays a trick on Cooper (Coleman), chief of a rival branch. Ross picks out a random innocent--a concert violinist named Richard (Hanks)--and convinces Cooper to keep close watch on the suspect. Completely oblivious of what's going on, without the slightest idea why he is being shot at, mugged and chased. Richard goes about his business, while all of his simple actions are being misinterpreted by both the eager Cooper and Maddy, an aid sent in by Copper to seduce Richard. Madness and mayhem ensue when Maddy falls in love with Richard, and both Ross' and Cooper's plans go a little awry. Based on the French film LE GRAND BLOND AVEC UNE CHAUSSURE NOIRE.

Farcical comedy that rarely achieves the right tempo or timing for its occasional jokes.
