Synopsis:

Coming after Operation Bullshine and My Wife's Family, What A Whopper is a comedy from former documentarist Gilbert Gunn. Adam Faith stars in this tale about a struggling writer who fakes photographs of the Loch Ness monster and then heads for the Highlands to convince the locals so that they'll back his book. Just about every comedy stalwart you can think of crops up in support, from Carry On regulars Sid James and Charles Hawtrey to TV favourites Wilfrid Brambell and Terry Scott. Even Spike Milligan has a cameo as a tramp...

In this comedy, a writer tries to scare up some quick cash by writing a book about the Loch Ness monster. Unfortunately, none of the publishers will buy it. The writer and his bohemian friends then create a mock monster, photograph it, and head for Scotland to convince the locals of the picture's veracity.

A writer attempts to raise some cash by writing a book about the Loch Ness Monster. No publisher will take it because they all think there isn't really a monster. The writer and some of his friends make a fake monster and take photographs and then travel to Scotland to see if they can convince the locals.
