Audience Member Will Hay is an incompetent schoolmaster who gets a job teaching at a boys school which is being evacuated to a castle on the Isle of Skye. There is some skulduggery going on at the school, and despite his general hopelessness as a schoolmaster, Will Hay manages to outwit the villains with the help of fellow teacher Claude Humberto and precocious schoolboy Charles Hawtrey. Absolutely hilarious. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member An amusing Ealing Studios haunted castle comedy--Masters at Work!!
