Bob Ho (Jackie Chan) is a top international spy working on attachment to the CIA. However, Bob wants to give up his ultra-dangerous career to settle down with his neighbour and girlfriend, the lovely Gillian (Amber Valletta). But Bob has one more mission to complete before Gillian agrees to marry him - winning over her three opinionated kids. When Gillian suddenly has to leave town, Bob volunteers to babysit the children so he can earn their approval. Plenty of mayhem ensues as Bob struggles to cope with his feisty charges, but when one of the kids mistakenly downloads a top-secret formula from his computer, Bob's Russian terrorist arch-enemy is alerted to his whereabouts. Now Bob is forced to juggle the roles of spy and prospective stepfather in the most challenging mission of his career...
