Harking back to the phenomenally successful Aldwych Farces of the 1930s, Vernon Sylvaine's hilarious adaptation of his own hit West End play stars George Cole on top form as a bewildered bank clerk caught up in a series of unfortunate events! Strait-laced Henry Sterling's peaceful life is periodically shattered by his wastrel brother's antics. But when he attends a local theatre to pay his brother's bouncing cheque he stays to watch the show – and ends up being hypnotised into thinking he's a devil-may-care philanderer! (Network)
