Synopsis
As novelties salesman Freddy returns from a business trip, his sample case becomes confused with the valise of secret agent Smith. While Freddy's bag is full of trick gadgets, Smith's briefcase contains incriminating evidence against the sinister Dr. Pax. Because Freddy has unwittingly become privy to its intelligence he is recruited by the secret service, which he enters under the tutelage of Smith. En route to an encounter with Pax's paramour, Sonja, the pair is unsuccessfully attacked by one-handed henchman Kolick. At the Stockholm cabaret in which Sonja is a performer the agents are again menaced by Kolick. Although Freddy escapes with the help of his sample case, Kolick abducts Sonja and Smith. The salesman follows them to Pax's island headquarters, from which the megalomaniac plans to mount a missile attack spearheaded by a flight of trained pigeons. The scheme is foiled by Freddy, who deflects the missiles from their Russian target by substituting homing pigeons for Pax's flock. Freddy rescues Sonja and Smith, and the trio departs in a helicopter as the avian army approaches its target.
