We have Spike Milligan, for example as a traffic warden who eats a ticket for cash and Richard Attenborough who persuades his Oxford boat crew to cheat in return for the contents of Sir Grand's briefcase of cash. All things come to a head on a luxury cruise ship (the Magic Christian) which for some reason has a vampire aboard (Christopher Lee of course), the engine room also consists of topless women rowing while being whipped by Raquel Welch...
Other people appearing in cameos include John Lennon, Michael Aspel, Yul Brynner, John Cleese and many more. It is quite an extraordinary film and has a tremendous soundtrack with songs written by Paul McCartney and performed by Bad Finger. However does any of it make any sense? Probably not. But is it supposed to? The film is very Monty Python at times and also very bonkers and frequently vulgar. A film of it's time but what a great time.
