A British agent is sent to Brazil to retrieve some secret technological information which has leaked and is to be sold to the highest bidder. He is to make contact with a man posing as a taxi driver, but makes contact with a real taxi driver instead, who then follows him around in his mission. An enemy agent shoots the scientist who was supposed to be in possession of a microfilm with the secret information. Then two shipping company employees carry a box containing the unconscious scientist, unwittingly.
Terrible espionage satire, with some unrelated Carnival songs thrown in for good measure. The narrative is occasionally incoherent and the humor falls completely flat. I saw a restored copy of the film, which nevertheless remains badly damaged especially in the audio track.
