A vacuum cleaner salesman (Alec Guinness) is recruited by the British secret service to act as a spy in Havana. When Guinness sends off phony reports, "recruits" mysterious agents and "discovers" mysterious installations, the home office decides to send him some help in the form of an agent named Beatrice.

Thanks to the fact that Graham Greene was (and still is) considered to be one of the very best writers of serious spy novels, he could get away with writing a lighter version of the same. Although, lighter... In fact this is an absolutely serious spy thriller through and through; just the personable main protagonist and the bureaucratic claptrap lighten the mood. And the humor is sparing and based on the fact that you know how a regular hero of this genre would behave in the situations that Wormold finds himself in.
