"Alright? I'm always alright on a saturday night." A ships crew are excited to be back in London on overnight shore leave. They quickly split up to find entertainment. David Lodge goes to visit his 'mother'. The younger sailors head to the pub on the hunt for girls, but end up with prostitutes. One then splits to go up west and ends up in a clip joint and tangles with Freddie Mills when he gets ripped off. Bernard Lee on the other hand, is after a classier night and heads to a fine hotel. He almost gets caught in a honey trap but manages to turn the tables on the blackmailers. Meanwhile John Bonney meets and falls for the quirky beatnik Heather Sears.
For your money you get a bit of everything here, from comedy, music and drama, all on a b-movie budget. A fine piece of pre-swinging London entertainment with the Searchers as a pub band.
