Synopsis:
A ventriloquist en route to Zurich is targeted by a spy ring, who conceal secret documents in his dummy. On arrival he is set upon by a competing group and the police, leading to city-wide pandemonium.
Review:
Quite funny, particularly the 'hands under the table' routine, but not nearly enough throwaways for something as formulaic as this, which needs a touch of improvisation.
