- Synopsis:
- While posters urge austerity and vigilance in wartime Britain, 'Joey Boy' Thompson (Harry H. Corbett) has never had it better. In a cellar beneath his East London fish shop, a gambling club thrives - and austerity provides a nice black-market sideline. But the dolce vita crumbles when police arrive in a lightning raid, and offer Joey and his fellow reprobates a stark choice: sign up for active service, or face another stint inside. Thus the lads find themselves heading off to Italy, determined to make the best of it...
