In a dream he relives a day in the 1920s when he and his workmate Ginger are hired to move the furniture of Mr. Fawcett.

"[3] In a contemporary review John Gillett wrote in Monthly Film Bulletin: "Apparently the first film in a projected series based on the popular characters created in the Twenties by Herbert Jenkins, Bindle (One of Them Days) has a surprising amount of charm (albeit of a slightly old-fashioned kind), deriving mainly from the lively, stylised dialogue-presumably taken from Jenkins' original and from the sharply observed playing of Alfie Bass as the much put-upon but resilient hero.

Although allowing a few of the minor characters some excessive, TV-style mugging, Peter Saunders generally maintains a quietly humorous tone and a gently relaxed pace, and makes no attempt at any spurious set-pieces.

The period decoration is unusually apt ... and there is a rich, though never overdrawn portrait of Mrs. Bindle, sharp-tongued and perpetually wailing, by Carmel McSharry. ...

Certainly more varied and believable than Steptoe and Son (to which they are distantly related), the Bindle stories might still make a popular, if modest, series.
