Synopsis:

In this British comedy, two look-a-likes, an airman and a secret agent, find double trouble when they are assigned a top-secret task by their government. The airman is to impersonate the agent to confuse the Nazis while the real agent sneaks into France to investigate the new buzz bombs. Unfortunately, their orders get switched and the airman ends up in France. When he is accidentally shot back to Europe inside one of the defused bombs, the airman becomes a national hero. Meanwhile the real agent tries and tries to prove his true identity. No one listens.

When German rockets start to land on England the Prime Minister insists there is only one man for the job - Wing Commander Blenkinsop. A daring masterplan is hatched to send a double of the Wing Commander to Egypt while he secretly flies to France. The fate of the project, indeed of Britain, depends on the double - Aircraftsman Arthur Atwood, presently on latrine duties somewhere in England.

Brian Rix stars in this 1961 Sydney Box British comedy farce. Wing Commander Blenkinsop (Rix) is sent on a secret mission to find out about the flying bomb, Blenkinsops double - a toilet janitor is also sent to confuse the enemy but plans go array and everyone ends up confused!
