Summary
When Harold Spooks is sprung from prison in order to tell the gang where in the hotel he stashed the loot, it seems that everything is going to plan. Unfortunately, he’s the wrong Harold Spooks and this Harold has no idea where the money is hidden. He’s also a bit of an idiot and liable to give the game away at any moment. Add a few wacky women - Norah, the man-eating manageress, Edna who is always interrupting, and the redoutable Mrs Fletcher-Brewer and you are in for a farce and a half!
