Two professors visit an archaeological dig near a caravan park. Amidst eccentric characters and sexual humor, the caravan site sinks, leading to a striptease performance instead of the planned cabaret.
Professors Vooshka and Crump decide to visit an archaeological site to study the artifacts there. Lo and behold, it's right next to a caravan site where all manner of people are staying. With a randy Major owning the site, a snobbish mother, and the two professors' constant innuendos, the film ends with a sinking caravan site and a striptease performance as a replacement for the cabaret night.—Graeme Huggan <[email protected]>
Archaeology and camping are a strange combination, but when Major Leep discovers Roman remains under his run-down campsite, the visiting holiday- makers have to mix with the flocking archaeologists. Confusion is bound to follow, and a string of misunderstandings lead to chaos.—Simon N. McIntosh-Smith <[email protected]>
Frustrated butcher Fred Ramsden (Windsor Davies) and his dim electrician mate Ernie Bragg (Jack Douglas) happily head off for a fishing trip while their respective wives Sylvia (Liz Fraser) and Vera (Patricia Franklin) look forward to their health farm holiday. Once at the caravan site of Major Leafe (Kenneth Connor), Fred starts making eyes at a couple of gorgeous campers, Carol (Sherrie Hewson) and Sandra (Carol Hawkins). However, as Ernie talks in his sleep and any infidelities are likely to be repeated in the marital bed after their holiday, Fred is despondent.
Professor Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams) teams with Roman expert Anna Vrooshka (Elke Sommer) in an archaeological dig at the site. Roland is examining a new find at this archaeological site which is located next to a caravan site. Anna is a young & sexy Russian, who has been assigned as Roland's assistant, to "improve cultural relations". Anna has rammed her car into Roland's caravan & hence now they have to rent an accommodation at the camp site. They can only find 1 caravan which they have to share.
Arthur Upmore (Bernard Bresslaw) and his wife Linda (Patsy Rowlands) are saddled with her mother Daphne (Joan Sims) and her vulgar Mynah bird. Daphne feels that Arthur is always insulting her, while it is always the Mynah saying rude words at inappropriate moments that implicate Arthur.
Arthur is caught in a compromising position with blonde babe Norma Baxter (Adrienne Posta) whose husband Joe (Ian Lavender) is lumbered with their giant wolfhound. Fred & Ernie accidentally set fire to Carol & Sandra's tent. To make up they provide them their caravan & even buy them new tents & complete kits. But Carol and Sandra both run off with the excavation boys for a swim, leaving them with a severe case of heightened sexual tension.
After a few pints with the amused pub landlord (David Lodge), Fred and Ernie discover that the caravan site is riddled with excavation holes. The holes were dug by Anna & Roland, who theorized that the main Roman excavation site lay just below the campsite & hence they went about finding it, without having any permissions. Anna & Roland end up destroying the camps water supply.Major Leafe installs a new PA broadcast system, which is vandalized by the camp residents as it is perceived to be annoying and intrusive.
Daphne is perturbed by the discovery of her estranged husband, Henry Barnes (Peter Butterworth) living a downtrodden life as the camp's odd-job man, despite having won the football bet for 19,950 pounds. Henry tries to convince Daphne to move back with him as he now has 20,000 pounds to his name which he is willing to offer her.Major Leafe is determined to give the place a boost and arranges an evening cabaret for the caravan guests but a mix-up over the phone secures a stripper, Veronica (Jenny Cox), rather than the singer he wanted.
With Carol and Sandra having hooked up with archaeology students, Bob (Brian Osborne) and Clive (Larry Dann) Fred and Ernie pick up Maureen (Diana Darvey) and Sally (Georgina Moon), a couple of beauties from the village.As the party progresses, the ladies are offended by Veronica & prepare to leave. Major Leafe had recently got the chairs of the clubhouse painted & as they had not yet dried, everyone who sat on them got their pants ripped. The ensuing chaos saw everyone leave the clubhouse in a hurry. To make matters worse, it starts raining & Sandra & Carol seek shelter in Fred & Ernie's caravan. Fred and Ernie arrive with their mates, drunk. That's when their wives Slyvia and Vera decide to show up, fed up from their health farm holiday. They end up beating up everybody.The next morning Anna & Roland hook up in their caravan as the rest of the caravan guests leave one by one. Daphne & Henry are united. Fred and Ernie are united with their wives.
