Willie (Ian Carmichael) is the bad seed of a family of thieves (James Hayter, Kathleen Harrison, and Jill Ireland). One day, he steals a briefcase from a dodgy clergyman (Robert Helpmann), which is full of pound notes. Unfortunately, the notes all have the same serial number. However, the clergyman is not what he seems, and this is a front for his role as leader of a separate criminal gang.
He is seduced by “the big money” and starts passing the counterfeits, one note at a time. Much of his need for money is to impress Gloria (Belinda Lee), the pretty barmaid at his local pub. She dreams of the millionaire who will come and give her the good life. Unfortunately, he cannot pass the fake money fast enough to keep up with her wants.
The Big Money is a 1958 British comedy film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring Ian Carmichael, Belinda Lee, and Kathleen Harrison.
