Pastry arrives to stay, he proves an embarrassment to his social climbing daughter Lady Florence.

Pastry (Richard Hearne) supported by many of the stock characters – comic butlers, horsey titled ladies, Foreign Office types, half-witted sons – familiar in British 'B' comedies.

More of his comic sketches might profitably have been included; here only a drastically cut version of his struggles with a sousaphone remains to give a glimpse of his real talent.

"[3] TV Guide gave the film two out of five stars, calling it a "simple comedy with likable characters.

In the supporting cast: two other music-hall comedians – Robert Moreton, once famous for his 'Bumper Fun Book' and Peter Sinclair.
