Secret documents and microfilms have been stolen; it seems that the safe in Mr. Lead 's desirable mansion is not safe at all and that the Deuxième Bureau has been leaking. So begins the task for the best French secret spy O.S.S. 117 and his female counterpart.The title "O.S.S. 117 is not dead " is justified since the hero spends a good third of the film bedridden in a gloomy hospital where he pretends he was severely wounded after a car crash (sabotage).But he is presented with candied fruit (the box contains a small tape recorder) and he is not still. Who, in Mr. Lead 's house helps the villains get the stuff? Mr. Lead? his wife? his daughter? his secretary?his servant?
