Jumpin' Jack Flash is the story of Teresa "Terri" Dolittle (Goldberg), a fund transferer for First National Bank. In her office she does not fit in. Her desk is full of funny ornaments and is very decorative. She is often told off by her boss Mr. Paige for chatting in an informal manner to other bank computer workers around the globe. One night she is contacted by a man calling himself "Jumpin' Jack Flash", who turns out to be a British spy stuck in a hostile country in eastern Europe. He appeals to Terri to help him return home safely, sending her on wacky and dangerous adventures all over New York.
The film was one of the first to feature online communications as a key part of the plot.
The soundtrack includes two versions of the song "Jumpin' Jack Flash"; one by Aretha Franklin, and the other by The Rolling Stones.
