- Synopsis:
The Friths are a family of crooks, father (James Hayter) is a pick pocket, mother (Kathleen Harrison) and daughter (Jill Ireland) are successful shoplifters. The only problem is their eldest son Willie (Ian Carmichael), who couldn't pass a counterfeit note in a game of Monopoly. Willie pledges that one day he will land 'The Big Money', and woo the girl of his dreams, Gloria (Belinda Lee), a barmaid at his local pub. When Willie finally manages to swipe a suitcase full of banknotes, he discovers they’re as fake as the vicar he stole them from. His father demands the dodgy bills be destroyed, but Willie refuses. The fun continues as Willie attempts to evade both the counterfeiters and the police whilst trying to win the love of the ever more extravagant Gloria... with hilarious consequences. - Actors:
