Synopsis

While on a family holiday in Blackpool, a mild-mannered man is mistaken for an international spy. He escapes a brush with the police in women's clothing which he has stolen but discovers a secret letter in the lady's handbag. This directs him to a meeting with representatives of Ptomania (a thinly-disguised Germany) who are involved in an attempt to sabotage an international glider competition. Hitler makes a brief appearance as the unnamed pilot of a doomed Ptomanian plane, complete with fringe, toothbrush moustache, and wild gesticulations. The film has some elements of music hall entertainments in a song and dance routine as well as a number of slapstick moments. It contains both live action and edited stunt routines.

gollark: Is there anything you can do with neutron fluid other than neutron irradiation and very unhealthy and short-lived baths?
gollark: I meant fusion reactors, and AE2 can do it.
gollark: Also, how do you get certain fluids out of the reactor?
gollark: Ah. There definitely isn't.
