Chief Inspector Charles Victor has to give a talk or three at a police convention in Brighton, so he takes the wife and three children on a holiday. However, the youngsters find a tale of lust, infidelity, blackmail and murder while he's trying to fish and the wife is trying to get some sun.
It starts off with one of those semi-documentaries of all the fun you can have at Brighton Pier, and descends into all of the stuff that makes B movies exciting, but does so in a rather disappointing manner, with annoying 13-year-old Anthony Valentine as the uncontrollable scamp, and ends with a rather ludicrous chase of the police being unable to catch a clown scampering around the bracings of the pier. Director Lance Comfort could direct a cheap movie with a decent script, but he can't manage much with this.
