Zany comedy about two prisoners who want nothing more than to stay in jail! Norman Stanley Fletcher (Ronnie Barker) and his cell mate Lennie Godber (Richard Beckinsale) get caught up in an escape scheme devised by the prison 'godfather' (Peter Vaughan). The escape plan, carried out during a prison celebrity soccer match, works perfectly but, unfortunately, Fletcher and his cell mate are dragged along. They must now face the biggest challenge of their career - breaking into prison!
