In the midst of an internal power struggle at the CIA, Ross, chief of one branch of the agency, plays a trick on Cooper, chief of a rival branch. Ross picks out a random innocent concert violinist named Richard - and convinces Cooper to keep close watch on the "suspect." Completely oblivious of what's going on, 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 Copoer 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.
