Plot

Stanislas Dubois is an ordinary businessman. When he meets a woman on a date in a restaurant, he takes off his coat. Upon leaving he confuses a similar coat with his own. Following this mix-up he becomes increasingly aware that something about him is attracting peculiar people. Hidden in his new coat is a microfilm which interests more than one secret service. After being drawn into the world of international espionage, a secret service of his own country hires him to lure enemy spies into a trap.

Cast
gollark: Mine has a horribly degraded battery, so while it technically shuts off at 1% it goes to that way faster than it should.
gollark: In any case, my application seems to be dealing okay with the increased database volume, searches still only take a few milliseconds.
gollark: Yes, I would use it if I had different requirements.
gollark: What about it?
gollark: Also actually supported.
