Out of the blue they receive a telegram informing them that Bill’s long-lost uncle has died and left them his business – a cinema in the town of Sloughborough. They pack their bags and travel to Sloughborough expecting to sell the cinema to gain a huge inheritance, however, they discover the cinema is falling apart and is run by a comically incompetant staff who seem to have worked there forever.
