Francesca Annis plays Tuppence as a fun-loving flapper with a passion for hats, while James Warwick as Tommy is all boyish charm. When offered the opportunity to play detective and help out Scotland Yard in the bargain, the couple take up residence in the offices of Blunt's International Detective Agency. They have a comfortable life, but have become bored with the ordinary day-to-day routine. Tommy and Tuppence Beresford are an ideal middle-class couple of the 1920s.
