MORGAN'S RATING |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| Jimmy Tong is just a lowly chauffeur for millionaire Clark Devlin, until Devlin has an accident that puts him in the hospital. Tong is sent back to fetch some things for Devlin and unknowingly tries on Devlin's tuxedo and finds that it gives him extraordinary powers to anyone that dons the suit. This discovery thrusts Tong into a world of international intrigue and espionage and pairs him with an inexperienced partner, Del Blaine. |
