The story centers around Jimmy Tong (played by Jackie Chan), a skilled and affable taxi driver working for millionaire playboy Clark Devlin (played by Jason Isaacs). Devlin is actually a secret agent for a government intelligence agency. When Devlin is injured in an explosion, he entrusts Jimmy with the care of his tuxedo, which is no ordinary suit but a high-tech gadget capable of granting its wearer superhuman abilities.
Curious about the tuxedo’s powers, Jimmy puts it on and soon discovers its incredible capabilities, including martial arts skills, enhanced strength, and agility. With his newfound abilities, Jimmy takes on the role of a secret agent and continues Devlin’s mission to stop an evil organization from contaminating the world’s water supply with a dangerous toxin.
As Jimmy delves deeper into the world of espionage, he teams up with Del Blaine (played by Jennifer Love Hewitt), a resourceful and tech-savvy agent who becomes his partner. Together, they embark on a series of action-packed adventures to thwart the plans of the villainous Dietrich Banning (played by Ritchie Coster) and his henchmen.
Along the way, Jimmy faces numerous challenges and obstacles, including deadly traps, high-speed chases, and intense hand-to-hand combat. With his quick wit and martial arts skills, he manages to outsmart his adversaries and save the day.
As the mission progresses, Jimmy and Del develop a close bond and begin to unravel the mystery behind Banning’s sinister plot. They discover that Banning plans to contaminate the water supply during a prestigious charity event, putting millions of lives at risk.
In a thrilling climax, Jimmy and Del infiltrate the charity event to confront Banning and his henchmen. With the help of the tuxedo’s extraordinary powers and their own resourcefulness, they engage in a fierce battle to stop Banning and save the world from disaster.
In the end, Jimmy emerges victorious, defeating Banning and his henchmen and preventing the toxin from being released into the water supply. He returns the tuxedo to Devlin, who makes a full recovery, and decides to continue his career as a secret agent alongside Del.
