Escaping from China with a microfilm of the formula for the mysterious "Lotus X", Lord Edward Southmere (Derek Nimmo), a King's Messenger, is chased by a group of Chinese spies (headed by Peter Ustinov). Back in London, Lord Southmere runs into the Natural History Museum and hides the microfilm in the bones of a large dinosaur skeleton. The spies decide to steal the dinosaur, so they can search it properly, and load the Brontosaurus skeleton on the back of their steam lorry. Some nannies steal the vehicle, which they drive through the foggy streets of London before being carried off to safety on a flat wagon at the back of a train.
The spies eventually find the microfilm at the museum inside the bones of another large dinosaur skeleton, and all misunderstanding is set aside, with good results for all.
“The six-ton bag of bones is the target of a world-wide search.”
