About 30 years ago i hired a 16mm print of this film from a film library in Coventry .I seem to remember that this is about Bud and Ches on a boat that lands them in a banana republic in South America. Bud is i recall mistaken for the President of that country with all the usual complications. It is not their best but it is fairly amusing. Somewhere i do actually have on a reel to reel tape ,which i can no longer play,parts of the soundtrack. The strange thing about this film is that it is not available at all on video. I have all of their other films. A fire Has Been Arranged,made by the same studios has been shown many times on TV and was released on video. So why not this film? Obviously in view of what i have said above it is not a "lost" film. So if anyone out there has a copy or knows how to get a copy please get in touch with me.
I have at last in 2023 been able to view this film through the kind auspices of the BFI.
The film starts with singing the theme time to a theatre queue. All they get is a foreign coin. They decide to vomit suicide by jumping off a bridge and land instead on a cruise ship. They have to work their passage under the care of a rather hard chief steward.
The drip perform some of their familiar music hall routines. Bud disproving words for Ches to correct him..The left that's right routine. I
There is a farcical boxing match.
When they land in the banana republic Bud saved the life of a general and is made a Colonel. He is abducted by revolutionaries bit saved the day by using crooked dice.
