Tom Courtenay is an every day bloke pawning junk on the London streets. One day he ends up sleeping on the couch of a friend who unbeknownst to Courtenay is a spy. The friend is assassinated and Courtenay becomes unwillingly involved in an elaborate game of spies vs spies. He shuffles between one group and another, never quite knowing where he is or who they are, until he ends up in the hands of the government. More subterfuge follows leading to viewer confusion. The lovely Romy Schneider is a friendly spy who helps him along the way. It's about as exciting as breakfast, especially considering the genre.
