Synopsis:

Following the resounding success of Up Pompeii!, Frankie Howerd delved into the pages of history once more to play the hapless valet of Venice's most infamous son. Double entendres and wicked punning run riot in this 1970s comedy gem, co-written by noted screenwriter Sid Colin, whose credits include Up Pompeii! and The Army Game. A coach lumbers along the road from Venice to Padua. Inside is Giacomo Casanova, on the run from the Doge of Venice and intent on carrying out his latest female conquest. Up on the box is Fransisco, his body servant ('No, no, wait a minute! It doesn't mean what you think it does!'); he's merely intent on staying out of the clutches of the Doge's guardsmen. When Casanova proposes that they swap identities, Fransisco finds that life isn't all roses for the legendary lover...

The handsome and lusty young Venetian Casanova has been up to his tricks again and the doge has sent out his guardsmen to arrest him. But.. he has a cunning plan. He will change identities with his servant Francisco, who is neither young nor handsome, but certainly lusty.
