On the Buses

Stan gets a little annoyed when his mum and sister keep buying expensive items on hire-purchase, but the money he earns for overtime working as a bus driver means that he can afford it... just. His job is secure, as bus drivers are hard to come by, and his overtime prospects are good, until the bus company decide to revoke a long-standing rule and employ female bus drivers. Aghast at the thought of no overtime and, therefore, fewer wages, he joins forces with his long-time work colleague Jack to sabotage the new female employees.

Sacked by the bus company, Stan and Jack get jobs as drivers ferrying punters to and from a holiday camp and arrange for the rest of the family to come and stay. Blakey is there as the chief security guard, and manages to get caught in accidental compromising situations with the camp's nurse. The Butlers head for one disaster after another as Jack and Stan, still chasing women half their age, take two girls for a bus trip on the sands only for the bus to sink into the sands as the tide approaches. Olive gets into bed with someone else's husband when she returns in the dark to the wrong chalet, and 'little' Arthur sprays the chalet with ink - making a re-painting job necessary. The holiday over, Arthur's sidecar combination manages to come apart on the way out just as it did on the way in.

Bus driver Stan Butler agrees to marry Suzy, much to the anguish of Mum, her son-in-law, Arthur, and daughter Olive. How, they wonder, will they ever manage without Stan's money coming in? Then Arthur is sacked, and Stan agrees to delay the wedding. Meanwhile, he hits on an idea: Arthur should learn to drive a bus. Somehow he does just that, and even gets a job. Stan then blackmails the Depot Manager into giving him the job of driver on the new money-making Special Tours Bus. A great idea ...if only the inspector hadn't taken Stan on his trial run to the Windsor Safari Park.
