Carry on at Your Convenience

Wm. C. Bogg + Son is a manufacturer of toilets and other ceramic bathroom fixtures, which do not include bidets in traditionally minded Wm. C. Bogg considering gauche. Outside of the workplace, there is general harmony between management and staff. Designer Charles Coote and union job steward Vic Spanner live in the same boarding house owned by Vic's mum, Agatha Spanner. Factory foreperson Sid Plummer and line worker Chloe Moore have eyes for each other despite each already married, Chloe to company traveling salesman Fred Moore. At work, however, there are frequent problems, union job action generally initiated by Vic in adhering to the letter of union rules. Vic arguably does so in part in his dislike of Wm. C.'s son, Lewis Bogg who Vic feels was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, the two who compete for the affections of canteen clerk Myrt Plummer, Sid's daughter. Sid would rather she end up with Vic in his own union leanings. Things come to a head with this collective with the latest contract Lewis has negotiated for supplying goods, and Vic's resulting labor action in protest. What happens is affected by Sid's new venture with his wife Beattie Plummet's up to now silent budgie.
