“Carry On laughing until you have hysterics, but... Don't Lose Your Head!”

France in 1789, and Robespierre is sending the aristocracy to the guillotine. In England, Sir Rodney Ffing (Sidney James) and Lord Darcy Pue (Jim Dale) decide to help their French counterparts, with Rodney disguised as the Black Fingernail. Gerald Thomas sets this Carry On parody of The Scarlet Pimpernel against Citizen Camembert (Kenneth Williams), the secret police leader who wants the Fingernail caught.
