Europe, 1944. American Special Agent Steven O'Rourke — known among the officers as "Special Agent Almost" due to his dismal record of successfully completed mission — is recruited by British intelligence for a particularly risky undercover operation. O'Rourke and a small team are to sneak into Berlin and steal a precious Enigma encryption machine directly from the factory where they're made. The comedic catch: Since most able-bodied men are away fighting for the Nazi cause, German factories are now manned by women. In order to successfully snatch an Enigma machine, O'Rourke and his unlikely band of brothers — which includes encoding whiz Johnson, aka "Johnno", and aging pencil-pusher Archie — will have to do it in drag. To help pull off the masquerade, British Colonel Aitken enlists the expertise of the former adjunct to the military attache in Berlin, Tony Parker; in addition to speaking flawless German, Parker now performs as a female impersonator in gay cabarets. O'Rourke teaches his men combat maneuvers while Parker teaches them to walk in heels, and by the end of the four-week training period they're about as ready as they'll ever be. Once they're airdropped in full drag behind enemy lines, however, unforeseen complications arise. What they thought was the factory turns out to be a cleverly constructed decoy; Parker risks blowing their cover by contacting the love he left behind in Berlin; and their German contact, pretty young librarian Romy, is being closely pursued by a love-struck Gestapo agent. Complicating matters further are the romantic sparks that inevitably fly between Romy and O'Rourke.
