What happens

School for Randle is a 1949 British comedy film directed by John E. Blakeley and starring Frank Randle, Dan Young and Alec Pleon. It was written by Randle, Harry Jackson and Blakeley. It was made at the Manchester Studios, and was one of a string of cheaply made and profitable films starring Randle during the era. The title is a reference to the Richard Brinsley Sheridan play The School for Scandal. A school caretaker turns out to be the father of one of the pupils. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
