A feature film starring the popular Lancashire lad, George Formby also starring Googie Withers.
'I'm not as daft as I look', says George Gullip. George is a newspaper compositor, and also an amateur sleuth, so when the police are baffled by a gang of counter-feiters he devises an ingenious plan to trap the crooks...
Formby is in excellent form as the love-sick hero, and finds time to sing several songs - including 'Fanlight Fanny' - on the way to a hectic finale in a brewery.

Clayton Pfanner is "The Steel Cowboy", a tough individualist born out of his time. In the harsh world of the 1970s Clayton and his pal and co-driver, K.W., find the going hard. Their massive truck - complete with leather interior, carpets and television - is their home and their "world". Unfortunately for Clayton a life of free-wheeling adventure doesn't pay the bills and a freight-racketeer, Pincus, persuades them to transport stolen cattle - with disastrous results for all concerned.
