High flying young banker Tim Matthews (Cliff Richard) works for a London merchant bank and is constantly striving to outdo rival colleague, Hugo Flaxman (Anthony Andrews).
Tim is excited to learn he is going to New York – but then he is sent to Birmingham instead to pressure a small struggling restaurant.
In the process, he buys himself a narrowboat and falls in love with the delightful restaurant owner, Sarah (former Doctor Who assistant Deborah Watling) and co-founds a glamorous new burger bar selling “Brumburgers”.
He also gets a chance to bring peace between capitalist Sir Harry Cunningham (Hugh Griffith) and left-wing politician Bert Jackson (George Cole).
Based around the Gas Street basin and local canals, Take Me High offers a fascinating historical insight into this very special area of Birmingham in the early 70s. And some terrific songs from Cliff in his final starring film role.
