with Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe, Spike Milligan in 'The Spanish Suitcase'

Young Ned Seagoon is wintering in Spain when he is approached by Senor Moriarty of the Deuxieme Bureau, who casually mentions that Major Denis Bloodnok, a fellow Britisher, is languishing in Gonzales Jail under suspicion of having taken part in a mysterious jewel robbery at Valladolid. Senor Grytpype-Thynne arrives on the scene and suggests that Neddie is very much like Major Bloodnok in appearance and that he would be rendering Britain great service if he were to replace Major Bloodnok of M.I.5 in prison. Ned Seagoon, patriot to the core, agrees to the proposition-with startling results.
