Plot summary

Trivia
- Charles Hawtrey was an 11th hour casting choice.
- Sergeant Bung's car is a 1904 Brushmobile. The company was based in Loughborough in Leicestershire, England and only six of these cars were made.
- Whenever Bung is using his car the soundtrack plays a variation of "Johnny Todd", the theme to the TV series Z Cars, which featured the latest car-based police of the 1960s. When Bung rides on the horse and cart the tune "Old Ned" is used: this is the theme to the sitcom Steptoe and Son which also starred Harry H. Corbett.
- Due to illness Sid James had to pull out of the movie, so Corbett was drafted in to replace him. Despite this, the character name Sidney Bung was retained, in keeping with James's characters on TV and film being named after him. Joan Sims played the catty long-suffering constable's wife.
