Secombe wins a large sum in a football pool and heads to Brighton with pal Spike. Here he encounters counterfeiters and golddiggers
Very slight comedy, most notable for the screen debut of Peter Sellers. The comedy here is more traditional, which is why it doesn't work. The short Let's Go Crazy, filmed shortly after with the leftover funds form this film, is more anarchic and thus more in keeping with the direction these proto-Goons were taking. An interesting and harmless curiosity.
