The evil Big O has perfected a laser weapon and intends to unleash it on Washington in ten days. All the top ICE operatives in the world are being eliminated. Matt Helm (Dean Martin) escapes an attempt by a beautiful assassin. He pretends to be dead while he is assigned a secret mission to find Dr. Solaris, the inventor of the superheliobeam. His only lead is a material called X-4 and Solaris' daughter Suzie (Ann-Margret).
It's the second in the Matt Helm franchise. It's got the suave of Martin and sexy bounce of Ann-Margret. I am convinced that it's not spoof enough to be funny and it's not exciting enough to be thrilling. This middle ground is cute but it doesn't rise to the top. This is a milder form of Austin Powers or James Bond and can't compare to either's strong points.
