The movie opens with a ski chalet party sequence where Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath aka OSS 117 is entertaining a Chinese Countess. The party is attacked by Chinese gunmen working for Mr. Lee and everyone but Hubert and the Countess are killed. Returning to Office of Strategic Services headquarters Hubert is assigned to deliver a blackmail payment of 50,000 new Francs to Professor Von Zimmel, a Nazi who escaped to South America and has a microfilm list of French Nazi sympathizers. Once in Rio Hubert is attacked at various times by relatives of Mr. Lee's gunmen, encounters a foul mouthed American agent Bill Tremendous, the femme fatale Carlotta, Professor Von Zimmel's luchador enforcers and eventually Mossad agents intent on bringing Professor Von Zimmel back to Israel for trial. OSS 117 teams up with Dolorès Koulechov, a beautiful Israeli Army officer to bring Von Zimmel in.

Throughout the film the main character has two main romantic interests. The first is a mysterious beauty Carlotta. The second is Israeli Army officer, Dolorès Koulechov, who spends most of the film exasperated at OSS 117's misogynistic, racist, colonial tendencies and has no interest in the main character, but warms up to him in the end.
The film is a continuation of the OSS 117 series of spy films from the 1950s and 1960s, which were in turn based on a series of novels by Jean Bruce, a prolific French popular writer. However, instead of taking the genre seriously, the film parodies the original series and other conventional spy and Eurospy films, most noticeably the early James Bond series right down to the cinematography, art direction and costume of the 1960s. For example, driving scenes are all filmed with obvious rear projection and camera movements are simple, and avoid the three-dimensional Steadycam and crane movements that are easily accomplished today. This film is a sequel to the 2006 film OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies.

The main character in the OSS 117 series is a secret agent of the Office of Strategic Services, Hubert Bonisseur de La Bath, also known by his code name OSS 117. The character is played by French comedian Jean Dujardin. info (c) wikipedia.org
