Stan (Reg Varney) announces that he is going to get married to his engaged sweetheart Susy (Janet Mahoney) in this comedy sequel to the original On The Buses movie, which passed into quick oblivion in 1971 – which, in turn, was based on the extremely popular On The Busestelevision series.
His family – who are dependent on Stan’s income and won’t manage without his wage packet – decide that Stan must train his unemployed brother-in-law Arthur (Michael Robbins) to drive a bus.
Meanwhile, at the Town and District Bus Company, mayhem ensues when a new General Manager demands a string of new regulations to be adhered to, including uniforms only to work, two-way radios, and new firefighting equipment in the depot.
Stan then blackmails the Manager into giving him the driver job on the new money-making Special Tours Bus. If only the inspector hadn’t taken Stan on his trial run to the Windsor Safari Park.
The comedy is crueller and more bitter than the TV series ever was, but Mutiny On The Buses was one of the biggest hits of 1972, and a third film – Holiday On The Buses – was rushed into production for a Christmas 1973 release.
The screenplay is by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney.
