What happens

Carry On at Your Convenience (also known as Carry On Round the Bend outside the UK) is a 1971 British comedy film, directed by Gerald Thomas and starring regulars Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Hattie Jacques and Bernard Bresslaw and Kenneth Cope in the first of his two Carry On appearances. It was written by Talbot Rothwell and produced by Peter Rogers. It was the 22nd release in the series of 31 Carry On films (1958–1992) and the first box office failure. This has been attributed to the film's attempt at exploring the political themes of the trade union movement, portraying union activists as idle, pedantic buffoons, which apparently alienated the traditional working-class audience of the series. The film did not return full production costs until 1976 after several international and television sales. It was followed by Carry On Matron in 1972. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
