It's the continuing adventures of superspy Matt Helm (Dean Martin). The government is testing a flying saucer with pilot Sheila Sommars. She is captured evil Jose Ortega. Back at ICE rehabilitation center, Matt runs into a zombie Sheila who is under treatment. He is assigned to recover her memory to find the missing saucer. She has the delusion of being married to him after their last mission together as a honeymooning couple.
This needs to be a fun franchise and Matt needs to have some humanity. It occurs to me that despite the bevy of adoring beauties, he lives an empty life. Sheila actually provides an opportunity for him to care. When he sees her traumatized, he should help out of the goodness of his heart. It shouldn't have to be an assignment. Once he realizes that she thinks that they're married, he can play along to help her and that leads to the evil villain. The sex jokes and go-go dancing are no longer that fun. Unless the franchise decides to go full spoof, the comedy is pretty much done.
