Don't Just Lie There, Say Something!

by Michael Pertwee
directed by Alan Tasker

Sir William Mainwaring-Brown is leading a campaign against permissiveness. In order to counter this, a group of hippies abduct Barry Ovis, a young Parliamentarian who is about to marry his political agent, and take him, drugged, to a wild party. He escapes after clouting two policemen during a raid, and takes refuge in Sir William's flat. He finds the great man is far from unpermissive himself. The pleasant evening of dalliance Sir William has arranged however, is upset by a series of complications caused mainly by a police inspector and a member of the Opposition. The mounting frenzy culminates in a whirlwind of frenetic, panic-stricken plans and counter plans as all concerned attempt to ward off discovery.
