Rigsby manages to scam his lodgers Cooper, an arts student, and Philip, an African jock, making both pay for a room they must share.
However Rigsby's favourite lodger, miss Jones, now flirts with both boys rather than the old man, despite his pitiful attempts to be generous.
She actually prefers an affair with slick veteran Seymour, who is really only interested in her money.....
Plot wise, there is nothing of any relevance to speak of here, but the film is divided into many sub plots, Rigsbys advances on Jones, the two lodgers and there little troubles, and later on Elliott makes an appearance to inject a bit of mystery into the film.
And its as you would expect, seaside postcard humour, Rossiter doing what he does best, being sarcastic and sympathetic at the same time, and chock full of people you recognise from the TV.
Its not the greatest thing ever made, and you can see the jokes coming from a mile off, but around this time in the UK, there was a spate of successful TV sitcoms turned into movies, and the majority of those were pitiful.
Its breezy, throwaway stuff, that is unashamedly un-PC, and watching it, you realise that writers got away with a lot of cultural reference that couldn't happen today.
