Hotel desk clerk Howerd is a Mister Fixit who dreams of warmer climes. When he inherits a fortune, he takes off to enjoy it, only to find the reality does not match his imagination. On his return, as the film lurches into farce, he buys the now failed hotel, but has to impress the Northern investors by pretending the place is still a bustling location by having the staff race around posing as guests. Another failed Howerd vehicle, he would eventually find movie success with “Up Pompeii”. As typical for the time, the film benefits from the splendid British character actors filling out the cast.
