'Get set for swingin’ sixties style, sunken lounges and strange science in the second star-studded instalment of Burger Force.

'Mercury’s new life as a spy isn’t quite unfolding as he’d expected—where are the daring disguises and cryptic code words? In the meantime, stranger happenings are afoot: someone’s been cloning Audrey Hepburn. The Audreys are appearing all over town in a series of smartly (if not subtly) dressed cinematic guises, from Eliza Doolittle to Holly Golightly—it’s a gosh-darn Charade!'

'Effortless style. Killer charm. Extra fries.

Would you like spies with that?'

'Having trouble with that pesky threat to civilisation? Diabolical masterminds getting you down? Relax and turn up the theme music. The agents at your local takeaway are already on it.

'In a secret facility located beneath the Burger Beserker takeaway, undercover operatives set aside thick shakes and fries to thwart assassin line-dancers, nefarious dating agency schemes, and cock-rockers gone (even more) wrong.

'Into this strange world wanders the even stranger Mercury, a hapless young man with an unusual and unwanted talent. The Burger team is tasked with discovering whether Mercury can help save the world as they know it or if that world needs saving from Mercury.

'Burger Force. The pop culture detective agency that rights social wrongs while serving up a tasty value meal'.
