Tom (Anthony Trent) is a horny young man desperate for a little excitement. Unfortunately, Tom’s life is not very exciting – his plain and dowdy girlfriend wants to settle down, and his mum (Connie Frazer) won’t let him watch the telly in peace – but what he lacks in real life he makes up for in his daydreams.
He keeps clippings of fashion models hidden in a drawer, daydreaming that one is in his bedroom clad only in a negligée. He’s sure the new secretary at the office fancies him (reality never stands in the way of fantasy for Tom) and he imagines his barber is a blonde (Valerie Stanton), and that the girl at the grocers lures him to the back room with the cartons.
He chats up a nice bird on the bus (Nina Dwyer) but she moves to another seat. Tom buys himself a Carnaby Street cap to go with his mod check jacket but the shop assistant in the men’s shop criticises Tom’s sartorial sense.
Tom pictures three birds fawning over him as he tries on a suit, the same way they go wild when he sings lead with the band playing at the discothèque (in his daydreams).
Released in the USA as The Tomcat.
