An accident prone MI-7 agent
is on a mission to rescue Britain's crown jewels and save
the country and the monarchy from a Machuavellian French business
magnate
and is almost as quickly dispatched to six feet under.
Unfortunately for the British Secret Service, virtually
every other able member of its esteemed ranks soon joins
Agent Number One in the afterworld - nasty business, bombing
a funeral.
Who could be behind such a diabolical plot? Perhaps the
same twisted mind bent on stealing the Crown Jewels?
Now, there is only one man remaining who can even hope
to protect his country, avenge the elimination of all of
the Secret Services spies and uncover the fiend behind
the fiendish plot to make off with the lasting symbols of
the once supreme British empire, the Crown Jewels.
Enter Johnny English.

He knows no danger.
