This quaint comedy caper follows two budding photographers on a day's happy snapping. The elderly professor goes in for wildlife photography, while young Archie prefers to snap his lovely fiancée (played by the charming Chrissie White) at the pool. Trouble ensues when their cameras are accidentally swapped, causing quite a stir when the pictures are developed...

Look out for the professor's wife, played by Ruby Belasco - a dead-ringer for Miriam Margolyes!
