Chester arrives at the castle owned by Lord and Lady Elrood, and pretends to be RogerNewton-Strangeways, their expected guest. But Chester might have been safer with Capone and Wedgwood, because the castle is inhabited by a host of crazy characters, such as Lord Elrood, who believes he has a private army and takes pot-shots at the postman; the tipsy Lady Elrood; a short-sighted maid called Ada; and young Jenny, who has a crush on traffic policeman Hilary Pond. Another visitor to the house is Miss Partridge, who is searching for relics of Cromwell. In fact, the only relatively sane member of the household is Pat, the daughter of Lord and Lady Elrood, with whom Chester immediately falls in love. Chester's romantic intentions are interrupted by the arrival of Capone and Wedgwood, and it is only after much confusion and the intervention of the timid PC Pond that the situation is resolved and the two gangsters brought to justice.
