Richard Lester's lively sequel to 1959's The Mouse That Roared is once again set in the minuscule middle-European state of Grand Fenwick, ruled by Grand Duchess Gloriana XIII. Bottles of wine, the country's only export, start exploding and the country becomes bankrupt. Fortunately Prime Minister Rupert Mountjoy's appeal for international aid, allegedly for space research, brings a million dollars from the United States and a space rocket from Russia. When scientist Professor Kokintz discovers the exploding wine makes an ideal rocket fuel, the PM's son volunteers to be Grand Fenwick's first astronaut, to impress his girlfriend. And, although British spy Maurice Spender reports the space project is a hoax, it takes off and heads towards the moon.
