Inglaterra, siglo XVII. Las discrepancias entre el rey Carlos I Estuardo (1625-1649), que era católico, y el Parlamento, dominado por los puritanos de Oliverio Cromwell, desencadenaron una guerra civil (1642-1648). La causa inmediata fue la sublevación de los católicos irlandeses tras la matanza del Ulster de 1641. La guerra terminó con la victoria de Cromwell. En 1649 tuvo lugar la ejecución de Carlos I y la abolición de la Monarquía, que fue sustituida por la República (1649-1660). Cromwell adoptó el título vitalicio de "Lord Protector", disolvió el Parlamento y empezó a ejercer una dictadura personal.

Encompassing three hugely popular double acts, The Crazy Gang were one of Britain's best-loved, most enduring variety troupes – their antics delighting audiences for over three decades from the early 1930s and their career taking in numerous Royal Command performances. Their efforts to save a struggling circus provide the laughs in this uproarious comedy, also starring Goldfinger icon Shirley Eaton and featuring Flanagan and Allen's rendition of their greatest hit, Underneath the Arches. The Crazy Gang have been jacks-of-all-trades with Joe Winter's Monster Circus for almost as long as Joe has been on the road, and they're still hoping for a big break. But Joe has hit hard times: his equipment is mortgaged, most of his acts have deserted him and even the elephants have walked out. So the Gang set about finding a way to save the circus... and come up with a typically novel solution!
