Dash Branigan, secret agent, must stay in shape for the next caper; His only hope is to keep his creator, Stanley Ford (Jack Lemmon), in shape. As with all ideal situations, Stanley is single and has everything he wants. The efficient English manservant Charles (Terry Thomas) keeps his apartment tidy. Yes, life is wonderful. Periodically, he must return items to the women who visit (and leave).
Whatever you do, do not get too close to those pop-up cakes (the kind that have more than cake inside). Oops, too late for Stanley. Yep, he did it. And marries the girl before he can stop himself. The real problem with domestic life is that your belly goes to pot. Don’t believe me? Look down.
From the title, you have the perfect solution. As Stanley puts his thoughts to pen and paper in his comic strip, a plan forms, and this same paper will be used as evidence when his wife (Virna Lisi) disappears. And everyone is looking at the "Gloppita-gloppita" machine.
The trial scene alone makes the film worth watching. And the outcome? Well, you'll just have to see it for yourself.
