What happens

Time Gentlemen, Please! (also known as Nothing To Lose) is a 1952 British comedy film directed by Lewis Gilbert and starring Eddie Byrne, Jane Barrett and Raymond Lovell. The screenplay was by Val Valentine and Peter Blackmore based on the 1946 novel Nothing to Lose by R.J. Minney. It was produced by Group 3 Films with funding from the NFFC and distributed by ABPC. Apart from occasional scene location within the bar (not critical to the plot) the title of the film (a phrase used at closing time in British bars) is not explained. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
