I suspect that this film originated as an introductory pilot for a TV show that never passed the credibility test.
The main plot is fine .... fairground going broke .... with lots of opportunity for a number of episodes as the lad gets out of trouble in Arthur Daley style. But somewhere along the line it seems to get lost in a number of improbable sub-plots.
The character of his oversexed oppo who attempts to trail one of the many folks who are suing the fairground is beyond belief.
Given a little more serious treatment and confined to one major plot line this movie had potential both in its own right and as a forerunner of a series.
