It is the time of the French revolution, and with Citizen Robespierre (Peter Gilmore) beheading the French aristocracy, two British noblemen — Sir Rodney Ffing (Sid James) and Lord Darcy (Jim Dale) — take it upon themselves to aid their French counterparts. Sir Rodney is a master of disguise, and becomes The Black Fingernail, scourge of Citizens Camembert (Kenneth Williams) and Bidet (Peter Butterworth), leaders of the French secret police.
