Ray Chase leads a double life. For his son Jeremy, he is a slightly idiot toy shop owner and the only adult caregiver after his mother's death. In truth, however, Ray is a successful secret agent who works for the secret organization SHADOW, which operates from a ship. The toy store is just a cover, its employee Mr. Yamata liaison with SHADOW. When Ray steals a newly developed beam weapon with an almost indescribable destructive power from the evil Eve, events roll over. Upon his return, Ray has the gun, but villain Wrecks is on his heels. Ray is caught by Wrecks after a wild chase with son Jeremy. However, he manages to hide the weapon.
Jeremy escapes and saves himself in the secret lair of his "Secret Agent Club". His friends don't believe him at first, but when they see the devastated apartment, they decide to help their friend. The search for Jeremy's dad begins in the toy store, but Wrecks has already devastated everything there and seriously injured the employee. His grandson Shigeo enters the shop and joins the group.
Meanwhile, Ray is tortured by a doctor with glasses that create virtual reality and drugs. However, he can oppose the truth serum. Jeremy and his friends steal the hidden rifle from the police station and are barely able to escape Wrecks. Sly, the group's hacker , hides the rifle. The rest of the group meet Vincent Scarletti, another of Eve's servants. He pretends to be Ray's partner Max Simpson and dupes the children with his magic tricks. When the real Max shows up, Shigeo, an excellent karate fighter, struck him down. The children receive a call from Ray who was able to break free for a short time. He reveals his whereabouts, but Eve then picks up the phone. She gives the children an ultimatum. The children decide to give the rifle to Simpson, but it is revealed to them. Sly leads them to a gang hiding place and the kids can take out Wrecks and Vincent.
Equipped with toys from the store, they set out to free Jeremy's father. They break into the old, disused prison and actually manage to free Ray.

Reviews
“A James Bond adventure for children was probably the initial idea for this film, but incompetent actors, a miserable script, inferior tricks and great lack of technical care ruin this idea. Only the cynicism of the filmmakers becomes visible . "
