Popular female entertainer Judy James (Hy Hazell) has recently returned to London after performing for British troops stationed in Korea. Her return attracts a wave of infatuated admirers to her hotel.
Among them are two dim-witted servicemen – Flight Lieutenant John Robinson (Michael Bentine) of the RAF and Private Llewelyn (Harry Secombe), who (coincidentally) uses the name Lieutenant John Robinson to impress the singer.
A third suitor, Lieutenant John Robinson, of the Royal Navy, is played by John Ainsworth.
Judy’s new West End show is financed by eccentric millionaire, Mr Aloysius Dimwitty (Freddie Frinton), a retired industrialist who made a wartime fortune manufacturing synthetic chewing gum.
Mistaking Judy’s identity and deeply confused by her wealthy backer’s presence, the bumbling soldiers spend much of the film chasing Judy and Dimwitty across London in a chaotic slapstick plot that culminates in a surreal final sight gag in which Judy reveals she is actually triplets.
Written by Michael Bentine and Maclean Rogers and filmed at Nettlefold Studios in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, the movie was panned by critics.
