The movie takes place in Los Angeles and follows Modesty and Willie as they prevent the kidnapping of a young computer genius who works for Tarrant's agency. Despite their given backstories, their North American accents and presence in California are left unexplained. The story centers around a stolen supercomputer, which Debbie Defarge intends to use to manipulate the New York stock market. The film stays true to some character traits, such as Willie's knife-throwing skills and Modesty's action-triggered dress rip, but the characters deviate significantly from their literary counterparts.
