Synopsis

While on a family holiday in Blackpool, a mild-mannered man is mistaken for an international spy.
He escapes a brush with the police in women's clothing which he has stolen but discovers a secret letter in the lady's handbag.
This directs him to a meeting with representatives of Ptomania who are involved in an attempt to sabotage an international glider competition.
Hitler makes a brief appearance as the unnamed pilot of a doomed Ptomanian plane, complete with fringe, toothbrush moustache, and wild gesticulations.
The film has some elements of music hall entertainments in a song and dance routine as well as a number of slapstick moments. It contains both live action and edited stunt routines.
