In one week alone they pluck six plums off Sellers' thumb, and by week's end the poor punk is driven to a desperate remedy: set a cop to catch a cop. Unfortunately, Inspector Fred ("Nosy") Parker (Lionel Jeffries), who qualifies handily as the stupidest flatfoot seen on screen since Edgar Kennedy turned in his badge, couldn't catch a hangnail in a square mile of linsey-woolsey...
