The Americans have launched a new space platform. The President enjoying his success on the golf course is kidnapped and replaced with a double by the feminist organization Fabulous Face. The head of Z.O.W.I.E. Lloyd Cramden (Lee J. Cobb) is suspicious noticing 3 minutes of time missing when they were gassed. Derek Flint (James Coburn) agrees to take the case. Cramden is tricked into a scandal by operative Lisa Norton (Jean Hale) and the fake President sidelines him.
James Coburn continues not to be funny. This franchise desperately needs an actual comedian at its head. Talking to dolphins could be funny but the best this movie can get to is silly. The idea of an evil feminist organization holds some possibilities. However the girls are nothing more than pinups and have limited charisma of their own. I just compare it to Leslie Nielsen doing Naked Gun and it's no contest. That may not be fair comparing different time periods. This is three years after Dr. Strangelove and it definitely fails in that comparison too.
