Mark Burns somehow convinces the mother of little Winnie to let him take her to the beach for a day of fun under a gray and rainy overcast. He wastes no opportunity to beg, steal or borrow alcohol the entire time. He's got quite a tolerance, so manages to stay somewhat sober while downing endless bottles of beer and gin. He meets up with an old friend, who spouts bad poetry and passes out, so he takes the opportunity to make out with his wife. Eventually the staggering amount of alcohol consumed catches up with him, and he begins to hallucinate, panic and fall unconscious. The end. A pointless, aimless film with a lead character who solicits no sympathy. Even an uncredited cameo by Peter Sellers as a flaming homosexual can't save it.
