When a meek newspaper proofreader, having saved the publisher a small fortune by finding a misplaced comma, is rewarded by being sent overseas as a foreign correspondent, he turns out to have a range of skills in solving crimes and thwarting foreign spies that would make James Bond green with envy. Based on the 1939 novel by Paul Gallico.
