Accidentally incapacitating the other retired agents, English language is the sole agent left to accept the mission. He insists on his onetime sidekick and MI7 clerk, Jeremy Bough. Collecting their equipment, including explosive jelly babies and a tracker bearded as a Sherbet Fountain, English and Bender get out behind their mobile and drive an erstwhile Aston Martin to France to investigate.

They arrive at the Hotel Magnifique in Antibes, where the cyber attack originated. Surreptitious every bit waiters, they steal a mobile with a photo of the next target, the Dot Calm yacht, and English language accidentally sets fire to the restaurant. Sneaking onto the yacht, he and Bough are caught by Russian operative Ophelia Bhuletova, but escape afterwards seeing many computer servers.

Pursuing Bhuletova's electric BMW through the countryside, English language and Bender run out of fuel. She finds them, arranging to meet at the Hotel de Paris in Cagnes-sur-Mer. While English meets her at the hotel bar, Bender discovers she is a spy, but English rejects his suspicions. Attempting to kill him, she fails subsequently he takes a pill making him hyperactive.

Farther cyber attacks force Theresa May to solidify an agreement with Silicon Valley billionaire Jason Volta, to be revealed during a forthcoming G12 coming together.

Learning Volta owns the Dot At-home, and suspecting he is behind the cyber attack, English and Bough return domicile. Seeking proof, they must infiltrate Volta'southward mansion. In preparation, English language is given a virtual reality exploration of the building. However, he unintentionally leaves the simulation room, assaulting various people whilst in the virtual environment (including battering the manager of a local cafe with two baguettes, and commandeering an open-top bus past pushing the bout guide off the elevation deck).

Arriving at the mansion, English discovers Bhuletova is too a spy. He records show of Volta'southward plans with her iPhone, only is exposed when hitting a button, playing a song instead. English escapes, hijacking a driving instructor's car, returning to MI7 after being chased by Volta. Still, he mixes up iPhones with the driving student, and so fails to convince MI7 and the Prime Minister of Volta'southward schemes. Hearing of both the eating place and virtual reality incidents, she fires English and gain with the G12 coming together in Scotland. Bough convinces him to stop Volta anyway, enlisting his wife Lydia'southward help, a Navy captain of submarine HMS Vengeance, to arrive at Garroch Castle via Loch Nevis.

Bhuletova attempts to kill Volta but, knowing she is a spy, he has immunized himself to her poison band and removed her gun'south firing pin. Scaling the castle using a powered bodysuit, English intervenes before Volta can impale her, who escapes. Volta plans to extort the G12 leaders by threatening to close down the cyberspace. English calls MI7, but forgets Lydia's alert about using a mobile about the submarine.

An MI7 secretarial assistant unintentionally places 2 telephones next to each other: one on a call from English, the other from Lydia, calling to ostend a launch code English language inadvertently keyed in.
