However, their plans are disrupted by the arrival of a strict new Chief Prison Officer, played by Lionel Jeffries.

It was directed by Robert Day from a screenplay by John Warren and Len Heath. The film boasts a rich cast of characters played by, among others, Peter Sellers, Bernard Cribbins.

Maurice Denham later played disgraced Judge The Honourable Mr Justice Stephen Rawley in two episodes of the television series Porridge.
