PLOT
When Albert poop-Decker pops in to Dirty Dicks for a last bit of you know what, he meets a serving wench called Sally who leads him a stray, before he knows it he wakes up in a daze, only to be captured by his crew. Once on the ship he has to explain who he is, in a woman's nightdress, Sally stands there in his clothes posing as him. Eventually Mr Angel and Howlett decided to mutiny Fearless and a few crew and fool them into a world of the unknown. After a trip to Spain they reunite with thier old ship and finally fight a war without actually fighting it and get decorated for theier bravery. | VERDICT
Quite a mixed up bag, as the Carry On team sail there ship alone in one of the weakest from the series. The story is a rickerty shanty of shanigans, the cast is few and far between and fails to capture much with un-regular cast like Cribbins, Mills, and Houston. however it is'nt all bad karma on the high seas, as the regular cast do manage to salvage most of it, Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey work well together and really do make parts of it sparkle, but for most the sparkle is'nt strong enough to keep thier ship afloat. A average Carry On with a few laughs!
