The Man Who Knew Too Much

Wallace Ritchie arrives in London from Des Moines, Iowa, to celebrate his birthday with his brother, James. Unbeknownst to Wallace, James is preoccupied with a business dinner that evening, leaving Wallace to explore the city on his own.

James is busy hosting a business dinner and is not expecting Wallace's visit. To keep Wallace entertained, he decides to send him to an interactive improv theatre event called the 'Theatre of Life', hoping it would be a fun distraction.

At a payphone, Wallace mistakenly answers a call intended for a hitman named Spencer. The caller, Sir Roger Daggenhurst, assumes Wallace is Spencer, setting off a chain of misunderstandings that lead to a dangerous conspiracy.

The real hitman, Spencer, picks up the phone call meant for Wallace and quickly murders one of the actors involved in the Theatre of Life act. This act of violence prompts a police investigation, putting Wallace at the center of a dangerous plot.

Daggenhurst and his accomplices plot to detonate a bomb hidden in a Matryoshka doll during a diplomatic dinner with British and Russian dignitaries. Their aim is to revive tensions from the Cold War and upgrade their technology.

Under the impression he is simply participating in the theatre, Wallace meets Lori, a woman involved in the plot to blackmail Defense Minister Gilbert Embleton. Unknown to him, Lori is in danger, having letters that could expose the conspiracy.

As tensions escalate, Lori finds herself targeted for elimination by Spencer, who is tasked with getting rid of her and the incriminating letters. Wallace inadvertently scares off Embleton and drives Spencer away, further complicating matters.

The plot thickens as Daggenhurst hires Boris 'The Butcher' Blavasky to eliminate Wallace and Lori. Boris succeeds in killing Spencer, mistakenly believing it will secure his position as a master assassin.

Wallace communicates important information about the plot while playing along with the Theatre of Life. Unbeknownst to him, both Daggenhurst and Sergei believe he is an American spy, which leads them to offer a massive bribe to retrieve the letters.

Both Wallace and Lori are captured by Daggenhurst's men and face potential torture. Wallace manages to escape with Lori just before the arrival of Dr. Ludmilla Kropotkin, marking a significant turn in their ordeal.

During a Russian folk dance intended for the ambassadors, Wallace inadvertently disarms the Matryoshka bomb and prevents a disaster. His improvised dancing skills inadvertently steal the show amidst the chaos.

When the bomb fails to detonate, Daggenhurst and Sergei are forced to deal with the fallout of their plan. They attempt to escape with the money but are intercepted, leading to chaos and eventual destruction.

As the dust settles, Wallace and Lori share a romantic kiss amidst the chaos, unaware of the true danger they just escaped. This moment marks a bittersweet end to their turbulent experience.

In a surprising turn of events, Wallace finds himself on a beach, inadvertently incapacitating a spy. He is approached by an American espionage group that mistakenly believes he has the potential to be a top agent.

Believing he is being offered a movie star gig, Wallace enthusiastically accepts their proposal to join the espionage team. His unintentional journey from an unassuming man to a potential spy adds a final twist to his birthday adventure.
