Made in conjunction with the sketch comedy troupe Les Cyniques, the film stars André Dubois as Jean "IXE-13" Thibault, the "Ace of Canadian Spies", who sets off to save his fiancée Gisèle after she is kidnapped while IXE-13 is on a mission. Louise Forestier also stars in a dual role as both Gisèle and Taya, the "Queen of the Chinese Communists" who undergoes plastic surgery to look like Gisèle as part of her plot to get close enough to IXE-13 to kill him. Its cast also includes Serge Grenier, Marc Laurendeau, Marcel Saint-Germain, Louisette Dussault, Carole Laure and Luce Guilbeault.
The film was based on Paul Daignault's Les Aventures étranges de l'Agent IXE-13 series of pulp spy stories.
The film premiered theatrically in late 1971, before opening commercially in January 1972.
