Otley vive a Portobello Road con gli altri membri della comunità hippie. Una sera viene invitato da una misteriosa donna nella lussuosa villa di un certo Kopcenko. Il mattino dopo, il giovane trova Kopcenko assassinato. Sulle sue tracce si muovono in molti: la polizia, che lo indica come assassino e due organizzazioni spionistiche che lo credono un killer. Anche se svagato, il ragazzo riesce a salvare la pelle e a svelare il complotto di cui è involontario partecipe. Parodia di James Bond ambientata nell'epoca dei figli dei fiori e con una trama alla Hitchcock. Si ride, ma soprattutto si rivede una Londra che non esiste più.
