- Synopsis:
1950s romantic comedy about a gang of incompetent thieves who hide €20,000 of stolen jewels in a deserted barge on the River Thames only to find that when they come to recover the jewels the barge is now occupied by two models! Late one evening in Chelsea footsteps echo along a deserted cul-de-sac. The lone figure is that of 'Posh' Peterson (Charles Farrell), a notorious thief. He has with him a bag filled with stolen jewels which he hides in a barge named the Hornet's Nest, moored on the River Thames. Unknown to Peterson he has been observed by two elderly ladies and a week later two attractive models (June Thorburn and Marla Landi), move into the Hornet's Nest with the help of Bob Bartlett (Paul Carpenter). The incompetent thieves, with the help of various disguises, attempt in vain to recover the jewels, with hilarious consequences! - Actors:
