Coming home from the war (the Second World War that is), Gordon Laid (Robin
Askwith) is looking forward to a few days he will be spending at a friend's
appartment, just relaxing.
But of course, not everything goes according to expectations when Gordon, in
a neighbouring appartment, finds a corpse, & actress Maxine Lupercal (Fiona
Richmond) manages to persuade him not to call the police but dump the corpse
into the Thames - whereupon Gordon of course is spotted -, but before he can
ghet the reward for his efforts (& you know what that would be), Maxine's
boyfriend, secret service agent Fenton (Richard Manuel) comes home & takes
over ...
The next day, Gordon is a wanted man, & what makes matters worse, the
deceased was also a secret agent, so not only the police but also some
sinisteer thugs are after him. Gordon is ready to give himself up, but Maxine
has a better (?) idea: She disguises Gordon as her chauffeur, which she thinks
is unsuspicious enough ... & of course that way she has someone to drive
her arund town.
But soon enough Gordon is apprehended by 2 thugs (Murray Salem, Ted Burnett)
who take him to their boss, Moncrieff Dovecraft (Anthony Steel), international
arms broker, & his sinister Oriental girlfriend (Anna Chen). Moncrieff is
convinced that Gordon has the PG 46, a newly developed weapon he wants to get
his hands on, & which the man Gordon has dumped into the Thames has brought
from Berlin. Trouble is, nobody knows exactly what the PG 46 looks like - or
even what it does, & Gordon has of course never heard of such a thing ...
until he uses a lighter he has found with the dead body & which rather
unexpectedly causes a power outage (yes, that's what the PG 46 does) &
allows Gordon to escape.
However, arriving back at Maxine's place, she can successfully dissuade him
again from giving himself up to the police & instead play her chauffeur
some more - & soon he is again abducted, this time by Moncrieff's Oriental
assistant who has decided to go solo & tries to seduce Gordon into giving
up the PG 46. Again, Gordon can escape, & this time he even manages to call
the police ... but hearing his story, they think him to be a lunatic & hang
up on him.
Maxine meanwhile has yet another plan to keep Gordon (& herself) out of
the spotlight: She takes him to the set of her latest movie dressed in drag
& presenting him as an old friend - which alone is bad enough but it gets
worse when one of the movie's producers turns out to be Moncrieff Dovecraft -
upon realizing this & rather foolishly using his lighter/PG 46 again,
drawing attention onto him, Gordon has to hightail it.
Unfortunately, he returns to Maxine's appartment, whereto she soon brings
Moncrieff, & only with luck can Gordon knock him out, & take Maxine to
her show, which opens that night. The police meanwhile haven't been idle &
have finally found out the identity of the man who dumped the body into the
Thames: Jimsy Deveroo (also Robin Askwith), Maxine's partner at the show &
a dead ringer for Gordon, & so they arrest him just minutes before the show
starts.
Maxine of course has another brilliant idea to both keep Gordon out of the
spotlight & save the show at the same time: Gordon just has to fill in for
Jimsy (since they look alike anyway) ... & soon the show culminates in
utter chaos, with Moncrieff's henchies trying to get their hands on Gordon
while he's on stage, & even Moncrieff suddenly joining into a
song-&-dance routine.
In the end though, all baddies are arrested, & Gordon starts an acting
career, siding Maxine. The PG 46, mind you, is still in his possession.
Not too bad an espionage erotic comedy, mainly flawed because its lead Robin
Askwith (whose main claim to fame is the Confessions-series of
erotic romps) is not much of either an actor or a comedian. On the other hand,
some of the dialogue & the situation comedy is actually amusing, &
lovely Fiona Richmond - as usual, gives a funny performance, & - opposing
to so many other erotic performers of her day - always gives one the feeling
she's in on the joke.
