00:00Why didn't you do your homework last night?
00:06I went to the pictures instead, sir.
00:08Do you think that was wise?
00:10No, sir. It was wisdom.
00:23And it was at this mighty mansion of a thousand windows
00:26that Norman got a job as a window cleaner.
00:29Give him a good spit and polish.
00:33Oh, I'm going to need an awful lot of spit, aren't I?
00:37This is Sir Reginald Vanderbilt, whose home it was.
00:40His pocket money didn't suffer from the credit squeeze.
00:42This represents an increase over the last 12 months of $4,500,000.
00:46It's nice to know that the dear boy will be fairly comfortably off.
00:49But there was a dangerous gang of crooks
00:52plotting to throw a thunderbolt into that happy little home.
00:55Sir Reginald, he's gone!
00:57Chidnappers! Well, do something!
00:59Don't you stand there! Do something! Sound me alone!
01:02Matching his wits against the desperate gang,
01:04Norman gets into every possible and impossible situation
01:08in one of the stately homes of England,
01:10winning the hearts of all who meet him,
01:12performing the most dazzling feats of athletic skill,
01:16and defying at least half a dozen fates worse than death.
01:19You'll fight to get into this picture starring Norman Wisdom,
01:23just as all the actors fought to get out of his way.
01:25Talent! We say it's talent! Talent is what the public wants!
01:44I've a feeling of being so up in the world
01:57when I'm walking out with you.
02:03If you weep when their love story doesn't run smooth,
02:06that's sympathy.
02:08If you tremble when Norman faces mortal danger,
02:11that's nervousness.
02:12And if you shriek with laughter at a thousand and one crazy situations,
02:16that's wisdom!
02:18Let our hearts take flight together
02:26Up in the world
