Synopsis:

Up your anchor for a well crewed voyage! It is 1942 and the Sultan of Turkey controls overland trade from the Far East to Europe. Christopher Columbus, looking to make his fortune, persuades the King and Queen of Spain to finance an expedition to find a new sea route to India. In the best tradition of the original Carry On series, this historical farce features the cream of the comedic crop...Starring Jim Dale, Maureen Lipman, Rik Mayall, Nigel Planer, Alexie Sayle, Julian Clary and a host of others it's sure to be a well crewed voyage. So why not grab an oar and set sail with the biggest bunch of acnhors who ever put to sea!

In this last gasp of the 'Carry On' series, minus most of the 'Carry On' players, Jim Dale plays Spanish map-maker Christopher Columbus, who has a plan to navigate a new route to India, bypassing the Sultan of Turkey (Rik Mayall) and his sky-high tributes. He convinces King Ferdinand of Spain (Leslie Phillips) and Queen Isabella (June Whitfield) to finance his trip, and he sets off for points east with a cabin boy in tow. But what Columbus doesn't realize is that his cabin boy is, in fact, a cabin girl.
