#THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE DISC MOVIE#
Thinking that they wish to make him a movie star, Wallace accepts their offer. Believing he is capable of being a top agent, they offer him a position on "the team". Some time later, on an exotic beach, Wally unwittingly incapacitates a spy, passing a test by an unknown American espionage group. They are proven wrong when they realign the doll, reactivating the bomb and blowing them up, just as Wallace and Lori share a kiss. Sergei and Daggenhurst attempt to escape with half the money and discover Wallace's doll, which they believe is only a normal one he picked out for himself. Boris congratulates Wallace for his impressive covert skills and gives him a souvenir pistol, telling Wallace he will continue his butcher shop business. Realizing their plot has failed when the bomb fails to go off, Sergei and Daggenhurst bring out two bags containing the promised £3 million for Wallace and Lori and release James, who is exhausted but otherwise fine after his torture session. During the routine, he sees the Matryoshka doll bomb, unwittingly disarms it seconds before it goes off, blocks a poison dart from Boris with it, and steals the show with his improvised dancing. Wallace evades the hitmen and finds himself part of a group of Russian folk dancers performing for the ambassadors. James is captured and sent to be tortured by Dr Kropotkin. Ludmilla Kropotkin, but Wallace and Lori separate and escape before she arrives.
Wallace and Lori are caught and held captive.
Wallace contacts James and tells him to meet him at the hotel – soon after, James sees an evening news report that Wallace has murdered an actor and police are searching for him, prompting James to abandon the business dinner. All the while Wallace gets close to his "co-star" Lori, who confesses she'd love to study acting once they're paid. This is a ruse to capture and kill them both. Daggenhurst offers Wallace and Lori 3 million British pounds in return for the letters, to be exchanged at the same hotel where the dinner is taking place. Thinking the words refer to the assassination plot, both sides believe he is an American spy who has caught on to their scheme. Using Spencer's communicator, Wallace mentions lighting up some "big Ambassadors, at 11:59," referring to James' cigars. Boris succeeds in killing the real Spencer, but Wallace and Lori return, retrieving the letters. Fearing their plot will be revealed, Daggenhurst hires two more hitmen, while Sergei hires now-inactive spy Boris "The Butcher" Blavasky to eliminate "Spencer". Wallace scares off Embleton when he arrives to look for them and drives off Spencer. Spencer was hired to eliminate her and destroy the letters. Lori plans to blackmail Embleton for a substantial amount of money using letters that detail the plot. Still believing he's acting with the Theatre of Life, Wally meets Lori, Embleton's call-girl. Daggenhurst, his assistant Hawkins, British Defense Minister Gilbert Embleton, and Russian intelligence agent Sergei plan to detonate an explosive device (hidden in a Matryoshka doll) during a dinner between British and Russian dignitaries, in order to rekindle the Cold War and replace their aging technology. The real Spencer picks up the phone call meant for Wallace and murders one of the actors, prompting a police investigation.
The contact, Sir Roger Daggenhurst, mistakes Wallace for Spencer, the hitman he has hired and Wallace assumes the identity. Wallace answers a phone call intended for a hitman at the same payphone that the Theatre of Life uses for its act. Before the night begins, James hands Wallace a pair of Ambassador cigars, promising to "fire them up" before midnight in celebration of Wally's birthday. James is not expecting the visit and is hosting a business dinner that night to keep Wallace entertained, he sets him up with an interactive improv theatre business, the "Theatre of Life", which promises to treat the participant as a character in a crime drama. Wallace Ritchie flies from Des Moines, Iowa, to London, United Kingdom, to spend his birthday with his brother, James.
