Ethel is helped by a Thames barge captain (Gordon Harker) who has a beau in every port and tavern along the river. He is smitten with Ethel though is also involved with Margaret Rutherford. A light farce follows.
The film is based on a play and this really shows at times as the dialogue often sounds like its being directed at a live audience. Not a laugh-a-minute comedy but enjoyable nonsense with one-dimensional stereotype characters. The now lost world of the Thames sailing barge is also interesting.
