The American manager Becker is transferred from the USA to the Australian subsidiary of Coca-Cola .

He finds out that there is a beverage factory there that is run by an eccentric old man. Becker tries to start the marketing for Coca-Cola and so get the competitor out of the way. But there he meets his lovable secretary.
criticism
“Comedy that does not find satirical sharpness in any scene and does little to illuminate the politics of expanding economic empires; rather boring than entertaining. "
- Roger Ebert gives the film three out of four points and writes: "The film is filled with moments of inspiration, the most memorable of which is a Coca-Cola advertisement with Aborigines; Scacchi crawls through the office and finds himself in a Coca-Cola refrigerator hidden and T. George's solution for his steam-powered beverage factory. "
