Plot

Freelance assassin Hawkins (Sim) has plans to blow up a Cabinet minister when the latter is discovered to be having an affair, consummated at the Green Man Hotel. However his plans are accidentally uncovered and foiled by vacuum cleaner salesman Blake (Cole). There are also some romantic (and not-at-all romantic) interludes and Hawkins briefly has the task of trying to deal with his secretary, a friendly policeman, and prepare his bomb at the same time.

The film, rated U, has been re-released on Region 2 DVD with School for Scoundrels

It was produced some 13 years prior to a Kingsley Amis novel "The Green Man" of the same name. There are no connections between the two.
