Discover
Willie (Ian Carmichael) is the unluckiest member of the Frith family. Their way to advance in the world comes from picking the right pockets and, unfortunately for Willie, he always picks the wrong pockets! Until one day, he steals a suitcase from Victoria station and finds it is full of £1 notes. Thousands of them. Is luck smiling on Willie at last? It would seem so until they discover the notes are fake and therefore unusable. How easily will Willie give up his prize?
