London is considered plum posting for American diplomats and Spencer Savage, a young Political Officer, is delighted with his new job at the London Embassy, the political nerve-center of Britain’s major ally where two hundred Americans work on behalf of their Government.

In a wry and witty look at embassy life, we follow Spencer struggling to come to grips with English society and his fellow diplomats. Transferring from a stint in the Far East, Spencer doesn’t find it easy to enter London society. Feeling like he’ll never feel at home, he nevertheless tries to make the most of the situation.
