Il existe une superstition dans les théâtres britanniques qui veut que si quelqu'un siffle dans les loges l'actrice la plus proche de la porte va être licenciée, sauf si celle qui a sifflé va faire immédiatement trois tours sur elle-même dans le couloir. C'est ce qui arrive à Leslie James, qui se retrouve à tourner en petite tenue, sous les yeux du comte de Pangborouugh, un riche planteur qui vient juste de rentrer en Angleterre. Mais le comte a lui aussi été remarqué par deux autres danseuses, Gloria et Clytie, qui savent repérer les hommes riches et en tirer profit.

In pre-revolutionary Cuba, James Wormold (Alec Guinness), a vacuum cleaner salesman, is recruited by Hawthorne (Noël Coward) of the British Secret Intelligence Service to be their Havana operative. Instead of recruiting his own agents, Wormold invents agents from men he knows only by sight, and sketches "plans" for a rocket-launching pad based on vacuum parts to increase his value to the service and to procure more money for himself and his expensive daughter Milly (Jo Morrow). Because his importance grows, he is sent a secretary, Beatrice (Maureen O'Hara), and a radioman from London to be under his command. With their arrival it becomes much harder for Wormold to maintain his facade. However, all of his invented information begins to come true: his cables home are intercepted and believed to be true by enemy agents who then act against his "cell". One of his "agents" is killed, and he is himself targeted for assassination. He admits what he's done to his secretary, and is recalled to London. At the film's conclusion, rather than telling the truth to the prime minister and other military intelligence services, Wormold's commanders (led by Ralph Richardson) agree to fabricate a story claiming his imagined machines had been dismantled, bestow honors on Wormold, and offer him a position teaching espionage classes in London.
