'''''Nothing Barred''''' is a 1961 British black and white [[comedy film]] directed by [[Darcy Conyers]] and starring [[Brian Rix]], [[Leo Franklyn]] and [[Naunton Wayne]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090114022754/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/65345 BFI.org]</ref>

==Plot==
Penniless Lord Whitebait (Naunton Wayne) plans to save his dwindling fortunes by opening his stately home, Whitebait Manor near [[Egham]], to the public. But public interest proves minimal, and with rapidly mounting debts and the spiralling costs of his daughter's upcoming wedding threatening to ruin him, Whitebait is forced to take desperate measures. He and his servant Spankforth (Charles Heslop) plot to stage the theft of a valuable painting from Whitebait Manor.

They go to [[Wormwood Scrubs]] prison to collect a suitable prisoner being released, but in error collect Wilfred Sapling (Brian Rix), a plumber who has been doing repairs in the prison. Their conversation to get the man to steal a painting is at cross purposes and he thinks they are discussing plumbing.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, a burglar Barger chooses his next target and throws a dart at a map, hitting the town of [[Egham]].

Barger attempts to rob Whitebait Manor but is caught and sent to prison

Sapling goes to the prison to repair the plumbing and helps Barger and other convicts escape

The group of convicts led by Barger escape through the sewers dressed as a church choir. Sapling follows them and he in turn is pursued by PC Budgie.

Sapling and Barger steal a police car to escape but are caught by the police
