The workers at a toilet factory go on strike, and the Carry On Gang runs amok. There's much silliness, and the double entendres are about what you'd expect, but this one's loose, even by the standards of a "Carry On" film, and the underlying sentiment is conspicuously anti-union. The highlight is probably an extended sequence toward the end, with labour and management together on an excursion bus, getting drunk and running around an amusement park. Then they all go back to work. Alternate titles (listed in the opening credits): "Down the Spout", "Ladies Please Be Seated", "Up the Workers" and "Labour Relations Are the People Who Come To See You When You're Having a Baby". That's "Carry On".
