This hilarious affair takes place in an American Embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist, caterer by trade, and his family, rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of spying and picture-taking. But it is not much of a refuge as the ambassador is absent and his son, now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen different countries. Nevertheless they carefully and frantically plot their escape and the ambassador's son and the caterer's daughter even have time to fall in love.
