The film is set in a sleepy seaside resort called Firecombe which is being pressured into taking drastic measures in order to make more money and gain tourism. [[UsefulNotes/BritishPoliticalSystem MP]] Sidney Fiddler (James) suggests to the Mayor (Connor) to set up a beauty contest, but MP Augusta Prodworthy (Whitfield) is strongly against it, stating that it would only excuse the men of the audience to objectify women in society. In her absence, the decision is made, with the help of publicist Peter Potter (Bresslaw) and Sid's girlfriend Connie (Sims), using her hotel as a base. This later ropes hotel residents Admiral (Butterworth) and two attractive women (one of them being Windsor) into becoming interested, leaving Augusta and a group of outraged local women to try and sabotage the event.

!!Example of Tropes are:
* BikerBabe: Hope Springs.
* {{Catfight}}: There's a major one over a stolen bra between Hope and another model.
* ComedicUnderwearExposure: The Mayor attaches his belt to a hook on a fire engine that speeds off in an emergency, tearing his trousers off, leaving him standing in his boxers in front of his important guests.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Peter, whose girlfriend is one of the models. He tells her off for wearing an outfit that [[BareYourMidriff "showed off her button"]].
* DirtyOldMan:
** Admiral.
--->'''Admiral''': Silly girl. What I'd give to put [[DontMakeMeTakeMyBeltOff her across my knee]].
--->'''Connie''': [[DeadpanSnarker Oh, I know, Admiral.]]
** Sidney, in a way, but he shows more care into making his town popular with tourists.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Subverted during the catfight. None of the men in the room are excited about it (even '''Admiral''' is speechless in terror), and Sidney tries desperately to break them up.
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: The leering Admiral who stares hungrily at the models is frightened out of the elevator he shares with Hope, who was teasing him flirtatiously.
* PunnyName: Sidney ''[[ADateWithRosiePalms Fiddler]]'', who is described in the trailer as "a [[StealthInsult big knob]] on the council".
* ShoutOut:
** There are rather a lot of allusions to ''Film/CarryOnCamping'' in this film.
*** Bernard Bresslaw portrays Peter Potter, the name of the henpecked husband portrayed by Creator/TerryScott.
*** Barbara Windsor has a catfight with the same actress that she had a catfight with when they were portraying the schoolgirls in Dr Soaper's boarding school.
