Op de Hollandse toer

Summary

Popular Dutch entertainer Wim Sonneveld returned to cinemas with this film directed by Harry Booth, the man behind British hits On the Buses and Mutiny on the Buses.

Sonneveld stars as a scatterbrained but imaginative courier with a genius for improvisation, Robbie Henegouwen de Boer. Robbie has only worked for a tour operator for two months, when he is tasked with showing an international coach party around after a colleague is suddenly fired.

The newly-minted tour guide is faced with a plethora of problems. The bus driver likes a drink, a Belgian couple lose their heads when they find their daughter has been chatted up by a Dutch youth and Robbie himself has to think up excuse after another to escape the clutches of the amorous Miss Slaughter. In the end, he manages to wriggle out of all the complicated situations but will never forget that as far as he is concerned 'Going Dutch' means 'Going Crazy'.
