Summary of The Man Who Knew Too Little
When bumbling lummox Wallace Ritchie threatens a visit to his successful, handsome, and socially mobile brother's posh London flat, the only thing to keep him out of trouble is the so-called "Theatre of Life," in which participants play a game of intrigue with hired actors masquerading as spies and hitmen.
