La República Democrática de Freedonia, un pequeño país centroeuropeo, a cuyo frente se encuentra el muy liberal señor Rufus T. Firefly, se ve amenazada por la dictadura de Sylvania, país de vieja y reconocida solvencia como agresor. Dos espías de prestigio, Chicolini y Pinky, sirven a Sylvania, lo que no impide que acaben siendo ministros del ahora ya excelentísimo Firefly.

Firefly, is threatened by the dictatorship of Sylvania, a country of old and recognized solvency as an aggressor. Two prestigious spies, Chicolini and Pinky, serve Sylvania, which does not prevent them from becoming ministers of the now excelent Firefly.
