White Cargo (1973 film)

White Cargo (also known as Albert's Follies)[1] is a 1973 British comedy film directed by Ray Selfe and starring David Jason and Imogen Hassall.

Chumley and Fosdyke enter the flat, posing as gas meter readers, and advise Albert to take the book to an Eastern trading company for translation, where they lie in wait for him.

At the country house, Albert finds the owner of the strip club, Fox, Harry and a number of hoods running a trade in white slavery.

At the warehouse, while Stella is interrogated over the stolen book, Albert daydreams about overpowering their guard, knocking out the hoods with a hare-brained pulley system and locking Fox in a crate.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A wretchedly unfunny attempt at a comedy in the old Norman Wisdom style, faithfully resurrecting every 'rude' gag from falling trousers to laboriously clambering (at great risk to manhood) over a gate that proves to be unlocked.
