A notorious international thief, the authorities, and just about every other small time hoodlum imaginable pursue a man recently released from the army after stumbling into a valuable, top-secret device with mysterious powers. Lance Corporal Gordon Laid (Robin Askwith) is a civilian again, but upon arriving at his borrowed luxury apartment he is shocked to discover a man fighting for his life. After discovering that his new neighbor is none other than stage and screen luminary Maxine Lupercal (Fiona Richmond), Laid unwittingly procures a much sought-after device known only as PJ46. Suffice it to say, it doesn't take long for international swindler Montcrieff Dovecraft (Anthony Steel) and his henchmen to find out about the curious device, and before long it seems like everyone is out to get Laid.
