A group of holidaymakers head for the Spanish resort of Elsbels for a 4-day visit. When they get there, they find the Hotel still hasn't been finished being built, and the weather is awful. And there is something strange about the staff. They all look very similar. To top it all off, the weather seems to be having an adverse affect on the Hotel's foundations.

fantastic

Carry on Abroad is another fantastic classic 1970's movie. I love this movie and it is one of the best i have ever seen as well as the other carry on movie. Sid James is my favourite in all the other actors and actresses, the reason why i like him the best is because of the sense of hunour he comes out with and the laugh he does in the movies he starred in. That makes me laugh whenever he laughs. He is a fantastic actor and i think he has a great sense of humour which i am sure some people like to have with them all the time. I certainlly like to have someone giving me a great sense of humour. The other actors and actresses in the carry on movies were fantastic, but i still think Sid James is the best. Kenneth Williams is my second favourite in the carry on movies. He also is funny and a great actor. I give carry on abroad 10 out of 10.
