A weekend gathering at the decaying country home of the eccentric General Futtock (Ronnie Barker) produces a series of saucy mishaps between staff and guests. This 'silent' film uses music, sound effects and incoherent mutterings in the place of dialogue, as the bumbling and lewd General competes with his equally lecherous butler (Michael Hordern) as they try to win the attentions of the beautiful short-skirted young houseguest. Chaos ensues between the assembled group of motley characters.
