Retired secret agent Leonard Parker (Bill Cosby) finds himself in the midst of a perilous madcap action-adventure to save the world from lobsters, frogs, ostriches and other unassuming creatures when he accepts the government's offer to crack a very peculiar case. Leonard must thwart the diabolical plans of Medusa Johnson (Gloria Foster) to control an odd assortment of animals with a strange liquid contained in a mysterious sphere. But saving the world is just one of Leonard's problems - he's still in love with his estranged wife (Pat Colbert) and his 20 year-old daughter has fallen for a 66 year-old man. Parker undertakes the assignment with unconventional means and a sense of humor, providing laugh-out-loud entertainment as he accomplishes impossible feats while also trying to put his personal life back together.
