- SynopsisComedy. A clumsy nobody, Albert Toddey, becomes involved in the search for a girl named Stella, whom he has witnessed getting fired from a Soho strip-club. He finds that she has been abducted by a gang of white slave traders led by the evil Dudley Fox, who operates out of a country mansion, The Grange, Upper Woldingham. There Fox has several other girls chained up too, ready for transportation by van to the English coast, and then by ship to Africa. Albert keeps imagining himself solving each problem with the suave aplomb of a James Bond-type hero, whereas in reality his bumbling keeps solving nothing. After a showdown in a dockside warehouse, Albert and Stella (who is really an undercover policewoman) manage to save the day. Albert is rewarded with a job as a concierge at police headquarters, but he is not very good even at that. (Synopsis)
