Young couple Timothy and Deirdre plan a romantic weekend on the coast in a caravan, called "Lulu", owned by the brother of their pal Fred and which Fred will tow with his ice cream van, as he will be working selling ice cream over the weekend.

However a French motorcycle cop mistakes the ice cream van and escorts them to the airport and they escape.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Despite an abundance of those caricatures of Frenchmen that say less about behaviour across the Channel than about the subconscious of people on this side of it, here is another rowdy episodic British farce, essaying the patterns that have generally proved money-making in the past.

In a wasteland of tired leering humour, only Graham Stark's zany miming and Irene Handl's tottering gentility stand out.
