American O'Rourke (LeBlanc) teams with cross-dressing Tony Parker (Izzard), genius Johnno (Birken) and the reluctant Archie (Cosmo). The four are sent to infiltrate the factory dressed as women.

They manage to retrieve the Enigma machine, against the expectations of the British army. Arriving home they find that they were tricked – the British government already had the device but wanted to make the Germans think they were still after it.
