Featured review
Penniless solicitor Benjamin Stubbins takes on a job from a group of Americans who say that they want to track down their ancestors from Scotland. In reality they want to rob the bank below his office but soon Stubbins realises his mistake and tries to thwart their getaway.
A vehicle for Will Hay in which, typically, he plays a bungling character. The humour is patchy, and the best scenes are those early on in the interplay with his office boy, played by Graham Moffat, but there's enough laughs to make it worthwhile. Hay fans will enjoy.
