Summary

James Franklin-Jones (Terry-Thomas) is a high-flying salesman for Balsom Plastics. He spends his time flying around the world, selling plastics and chasing women.

His firm decides that he needs an assistant, so they assign Peter Clancy (Jonathan Cecil) to accompany "F.J." on his travels.

Peter is a naive young man of high moral principles . Initially, this tends to cramp F.J.'s style somewhat, until he decides to "re-educate" his young assistant.
