The film's sets were designed by the art director John Stoll.

Plot

Wealthy hypochondriac bachelor Murray Selwyn has been ordered by his doctors to avoid stress, but unfortunately finds himself face to face with a gang of counterfeiters. Murray has unwittingly come into possession of the printing plates the gang is after. His stress levels escalate further when Murray's nurse is kidnapped by the gang.

Cast

Critical reception

TV Guide wrote, "silly comedy routines abound in this patented British farce."[4] The British 'B' Film considers Middleton "brought a touch of class" to the film.[5]
