Legendary Rat-Packers Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford are London’s coolest cats taking on England’s craziest criminals! When a sexy spy turns up dead in their ultra-cool nightclub, owners Salt (Davis) and Pepper (Lawford) are recruited by the British Secret Service to help solve the crime. But when they discover a plot to overthrow the government - and no one will believe them - they’re forced to go it alone, battling clueless cops and rioting revolutionaries in a hilarious bid to crack the case! (Kino Lorber)

The attempt to continue the frat-pack tradition of world-wise bachelors with a drink and a cigarette who are thrown into a whirlwind of events far beyond them is met here with the nonsensical cartoonishness of crazy comedy. Which means that, in addition to the constant barrage of jokes, there has to be room for a demonstration of the protagonists' abilities (Sammy Davis Jr. with his musical interlude) and charm (Peter Lawford well I don’t know), which makes for a serious De Palma-esque life-saving sequence. As much as the script isn't completely dumb otherwise, cleverly working in a few running jokes, and the verbal zingers have some juice at times, once it gets to the action sequences where the bad guys fall to the ground half a meter before a bowling ball reaches them and the protagonists throw drums at them in the knight's hall for some reason (???), it's impossible to ignore what shitty, muddy filmmaking this is.
