What happens

Carry on Admiral (U.S. title: The Ship Was Loaded) is a 1957 British comedy film directed by Val Guest and featuring David Tomlinson and Ronald Shiner. Joan Hickson also made an appearance in this film. It was based on the 1947 stage play Off the Record, written by Ian Hay. Joan Sims, who later became prominent in the Carry On series, has a small part. It pre-dates and was not part of the Carry On series, and does not share any regular cast members beyond Sims, though it is similar in tone and style to the earliest films in the series.
