| 3 | A 1975 Creator/{{Disney}} film set in London in the 1920s starring Creator/PeterUstinov, Helen Hayes, Creator/CliveRevill, Derek Nimmo, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/BernardBresslaw, Natasha Pyne, Creator/RoyKinnear, Joss Ackland, and Deryck Guyler. Lord Southmere steals the "Lotus X" formula from China on microfilm, then hides it in a dinosaur skeleton in the Natural History Museum. He then loses his memory, and can't remember exactly where he hid it, so a group of nannies try to find it before the Chinese can reclaim it. |

| 5 | !!This film contains examples of: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | * EasyAmnesia: Lord Southmere keeps getting clonked on the head by bricks, causing him to lose/regain his memory. |
| 8 | * GrandmasRecipe: What the {{MacGuffin}} turns out to be. |
| 9 | * MistakenForSpies: Lord Southmere keeps insisting that he's not a spy, just an ordinary businessman. However, nobody else believes him; as his (former) nanny points out, he would say that if he was a spy. |
| 10 | * MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: The Chinese guards are tricked into breaking the dungeon walls to show who is the strongest in order for the nannies to escape. |
| 11 | * NotMyDriver: Lord Southmere is kidnapped by the Chinese. |
| 12 | * ParasolOfPain: Lord Southmere's umbrella is apparently a gun in disguise, although we only see him threaten someone, and not actually fire it. |
| 13 | ** Also, normal umbrellas and handbags are the general weapons of choice for the nannies. |
| 14 | * PhotoDoodleRecognition: The Chinese soldiers trying to catch Lord Southmere before he leaves China spot him through his disguise by scribbling a Fu Manchu moustache and a coolie hat onto his photo. |
| 15 | * StiffUpperLip: Lord Southmere remains calm and polite throughout the movie, despite being knocked out and locked in a dungeon. |
| 16 | * {{Yellowface}}: None of the named Chinese characters are played by Chinese actors; instead, we get Creator/PeterUstinov in a Fu Manchu-esque getup, and Creator/BernardBresslaw and Creator/CliveRevill as his henchmen. |
