Local hotelier Sidney Fiddler persuades the Mayor to help improve the image of their rundown seaside town by holding a beauty contest. But formidable Councillor Prodworthy, head of the local women's lib, has other ideas...

Carry On delves into the war of the sexes again for a rather tired and forgettable addition to the series. Sid James never falters but the same can't be said for the script which is a very 'by numbers' affair packed with bosom jokes. But the biggest crime is that it all looks so cheap, although the era's fashion sense - or lack of it - doesn't help. Orange nylon will always look tacky no matter how well it's lit.

There are extras: a commentary (by Jack Douglas, Patsy Rowlands and June Whitfield) and an episode of the Carry On TV series, but neither can lift this disc onto the 'must have' list.
