Desperate to protect his position as the head of French national intelligence, Le colonel Louis Marie Alphonse Toulouse (Jean Rochefort), randomly singles out a man from a large crowd and claims he is a master spy who should be followed closely. In fact the unsuspecting François (Pierre Richard) is a friendly yet klutzy violinist, who is completely oblivious to the swarming intelligence agents tracking his every move. The result is a classic madcap comedy about espionage, surveillance, and mistaken identity that comes crashing to a halt in a final showdown.
