Synopsis:

Joe Orton's black comedy farce has been adapted to the screen in a fast-paced, but ultimately ineffective, adaptation. Hywed Bennett and Roy Holder are two lay-abouts named Dennis and Hal who decide to improve their lot in life by robbing a bank. After pulling the job, they have to hide the loot -- and where else but in the casket of Holder's recently deceased mother? Unfortunately, although the boys hide the money, they can't hide the casket, so they opt for stashing it in the bathroom of the hotel run by Holder's father (Milo O'Shea). All is well until wacky Inspector Truscott (Richard Attenborough) arrives to investigate. Snapping at his heels is Fay (Lee Remick) -- a sexy nurse looking for the loot. Soon, the father's hotel becomes a cacophony of stomping feet and slamming doors, with the loot and the corpse in a farcical shell-game, one step ahead of discovery by the inept Truscott.

Dennis (Hywel Bennett - Percy) and Hal (Roy Holder) are inseparable. They are also irreverent, boisterous, highly sexed and eager to acquire a quick fortune by the most expedient methodrobbery. Only problem is they have to hide their loot. Fortunately Dennis works as an undertaker so a coffin seems like the perfect place to hide it. But from the moment they try to fit the loot and a body in the coffin the plans go wrong .and soon the boys have trouble on their hands in the shape of a gold digging nurse and the dreaded Inspector Truscott (Richard Attenborough).
