Sir Roderick Ryall (Jimmy Edwards) is the roguish head of an eccentric Irish family. When he dies at the age of 95, he leaves his middle-aged children a fortune, but apparently only on paper. Their home, Ballyroden Hall, is their one asset. So they must devise ways of making money, and after much disagreement they decide to take in paying guests. When a holidaying family arrive for their holiday, expecting peace and quiet, they find themselves caught up in a series of amusing and farcical situations caused by their hosts.
