Jumpin' Jack Flash
Teresa "Terry" Doolittle (Whoopi Goldberg), is a typical New York fund transferrer for the First National Bank in Manhattan. In her office she doesn't quite fit with the bank's corporate image, as her desk is full of funny ornaments and is very decorative. Despite these small quirks, she is basically a good employee and is popular with her coworkers. However, she is often chastised by her no-nonsense boss James Page (Peter Michael Goetz) for chatting in an informal manner with other bank computer workers around the globe.
One night as the bank is closing for the day, she is contacted by a man calling himself "Jumpin' Jack Flash", who turns out to be a British Intelligence agent stuck in a hostile country in eastern Europe, and being pursued by the KGB. Jack tells Terry that he can only communicate with her via computer chat, and only over a private channel. In order to access his channel, Terry needs to type in Jack's code-key (a special password), however, because he is afraid of the KGB electronically eavesdropping on their conversation, Jack refuses to tell Terry his code-key. He tells her instead to "sing with me, and find the key". Terry, a huge fan of classic rock, figures that the key must be hidden somewhere in the lyrics to The Rolling Stones song. After several hours of fruitlessly searching the lyrics, Terry figures out the code-key is B-Flat (the key in which "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is supposedly written in - in reality the song is actually recorded in the key of B) Although from the sheet music that Terri finds the password, musically-speaking, "B-flat" is slightly an easier key to play on the piano hence the manuscript being a semi-tone lower.
He appeals to Terry to help him return home safely, sending her on wacky and dangerous adventures all over New York.
