We cut to the theme song and Doris Day/Rod Taylor are married and heading off in the jet expiremental powered speedboat….no doubt she will be a widow again soon.

Aaaaaand then it’s just over, with no further action sequence. Did Jenny stab Dom DeLuise in the throat? Did the Skipper give him the Gilligan treatment? Did anyone slap the cuffs on and say “alright you’re goin downtown”?
I guess we will presume the right people made it to jail.

Everyone is racing to Jenny’s little house to rescue her from the spy Bruce should have picked out a mile away 10 minutes into this thing but he was too busy inventing the roomba instead of Sonos. Chaos. cops and Bruce and strangely Jenny’s dad and everyone else are swarming the scene.

None of the above. She disarms him with a slap on the chest. A slap not even a punch. That is all.
Disarmed, the spy has her cornered and despite it being a now unarmed Dom DeLuise who would basically trip over himself given enough opportunity she is dramatically unable to get away.

Doris Day is back home and Dom Deluise has a gun pointed at her. Do we get a karate chop to his face or does the dog named Vladimir intervene with a bite in the nuts? Choke hold from behind by Rod Taylor? Gunshot where you think Jenny is shot but the gunshot is really the spy shot in the back?

Rod Taylor turns on the lights and they have to decide between a male threesome and acknowledging they’ve been outwitted.
They choose the latter.
But Rod Taylor wants a piece of their mind and chastises them or something despite the knowledge that real world Rod Taylor would be INTO IT.

All the clever men are sneaking into the red room/sex room with the lights off and mistaking each other for Jenny, feeling each other up and god knows what else with the lights off. The general ends up in bed with the ready and waiting Doris Day but it’s really another man and oh my that’s awkward.

More impressive 1) he had the phone number to CIA memorized, impressive recall, 2) they put him right through all the way to the top. SUBPLOT we hardly knew ya.
Now Jenny escapes the pantry, and she’s ANGRY.

Rod Taylor’s not dumb enough to keep the formula for fake gravity In a vault. His voice authenticated password is the 1966 equivalent of 1234. This security technology with a patent could be its own billion dollar company.
Bruce makes one phone call to CIA central and finds out CIA guy is not CIA.

Confrontation in kitchen. Bruce and Jenny have it out. He locks her in the pantry. That’ll bring her around!
ZOMG! CIA guy is the spy. he’s in on it with Don DeLuise - the stereo salesman from earlier, breaking into the hidden vault - this house has everything - to steal the secret of fake gravity.

The general sponsoring the space program, Bruce’s best friend, other guys in the CIA - each prioritize the prospect of lights off with Doris Day over national security.
And there’s a CIA spy who’s a man dressed as a woman and guys complimenting him seems to turn him on, which is funny I guess.

She decides to taunt them, aware she’s being watched. She makes fake spy phone calls within earshot.
Now she’s flirting with each of the ‘men’ who suspect her of spying to get Bruce/Rod jealous and arranging for all of them to meet her after hours. In the sex room. Of course.

the CIA are incorrectly incriminating her as a spy. Because her dog is named ‘Vladimir’. Details don’t matter, but by law it should be the FBI. In any case Bruce/Rod Taylor doesn’t believe them. Jenny/Doris Day hangs up before Bruce declares that he doesn’t believe it so WE HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING.

Rod Taylor resplendent in tuxedo is nonplussed by her change of heart but she openly hears him tell the others that he was scheming to get her into bed.
OK, slink away from the party, back to the Sex room, he’s called away for a phone call and she overhears a secure phone conversation.

They leave the sex room after not sex-ing there’s a misunderstanding, she leaves angry. At some point she talks to The Skipper on the CB radio in her house - no cell phones! Skipper helps her decide she loves him. Time for a resolve everything party in Rod Taylor’s massive mid century modern home.

she shows up in an amazing dress for a will they/wont they quiet night at the rich Rod Taylor’s house and he takes her to the “red room” which is presumably the sex room. All 1960s California mid century modern homes have one.
Doris day shuts off the lights and they hug because it’s 1966.

Cut to Jenny back at Bruce’s house and they’ve had a good time. It’s the end of the evening and she leaves but has regrets. whilst on her patio under the stars she laments her dead husband (lost at sea? Jumped off a bridge?) and takes off her ring. She’s ready to get it on with the man named Rod.

They commute to dinner in his rocket powered boat which is dangerous at high speed. despite the open top everyone’s hair remains perfectly still. They sing the movie’s theme song which is admittedly catchy. Though Bruce is wealthy he’s not above letting dad pick up the check. The common man y’all.

Bruce and Jenny end up kissing. Oh and she’s attacked by the prototype Roomba which is why we didn’t get those for real until the late 90s. Then cut to scene where Bruce is introduced to the salty sea dog who is Jenny’s father. He’s dressed like The Skipper because he’s a skipper.

Rod Taylor leaves the room so the woman can bake a replacement cake. Original cake stepped on by l Dom Deluise - greatest role: Cannonball Run - who is some sort of stereo installer / secret Russian spy and putting speakers in the ceiling throughout the house. If only Bruce had invented Sonos.

But NO, ‘what would housewives do with their time?’ Doris Day/Jenny asks. She has brought a cake because I guess she bakes. He has a Jetsons style kitchen filled with pop up inventions and gadgets, once again keeping a collection of technology to himself leaving billions on the table.

Why she’s a widow is unsaid. we will presume her husband was either in on an early phase of ‘Nam or didn’t wear his seat belt. But now Jenny/Doris Day is in Rod Taylor’s house where it turns out that he also invented the Roomba. Which as we know has more $$ potential than this little space venture.

in a conversation between “the men” of the movie they are counseling the smitten Bruce something - a solid sixties name - that she could ‘possibly be more than he bargained for, but she’s widowed!’ which they spin as a positive). The women are always widowed, there is no divorce in the sixties.

Case in point, he takes Jenny into a lab to show her his invention of artificial anti gravity or something which is 1) ENORMOUSLY TOP SECRET and 2) if possible WOULD LITERALLY CHANGE ALL OF SCIENCE AS WE KNOW IT. Standard first date stuff.
