Imogene McCarthery is a Scottish redhead who likes rugby, bagpipes and whisky. She lives in London but regards herself as in exile.
On this beautiful day in May 1962, Imogene, who is a secretary at the Admiralty, has just humiliated her superior again. This makes one scene too many. In the office of the big boss, Sir Woolish, Imogene is expecting to be dismissed… Against all odds, she is entrusted with a secret mission: to take the plans of a new war plane to a contact in… her home town in Scotland!
What a coincidence! What a sign of fate!
Imogene as a secret agent… Here is an opportunity for her to show the damned English a thing or two!
