Synopsis:
Norman Puckle, a well-meaning but clumsy grocer’s assistant, can’t seem to do anything right. After being rejected by Marlene, the love of his life, he attempts suicide, but can’t even do that. He is saved from jumping off a cliff at ‘Lover’s Leap’ by a Royal Navy petty officer. He persuades Puckle to join the Royal Navy, where he’ll meet ‘lots of girls’. Life in the Navy proves not to be as rosy as it’s been described, and Puckle fails at every task during basic training. But despite this, he’s regarded by the Admiral in charge of a rocket project to be a ‘typical average British sailor’, and chosen to be the first man to fly into outer space in an experimental rocket.

Reviews:
"As time passes, the warmth and innocence of Norman Wisdom films becomes a rarer and rarer treat. This is one of his best and includes all of the trade-mark ingredients. The scene where Norman throws the whole crew of a Navy frigate overboard is priceless and the reaction of the supporting cast to Norman throughout the film is as worth watching as the man himself. If you like the predictable, honest and gentle humour of the black and white Ealing era then this is one of the best."
