The Ups and Downs of a Handyman

1976 · 1h 40m · Comedy · United Kingdom · Rated R (US)

Always Handy - the odd job man whose services are constantly in demand!

A young handyman and his wife move to a small village and set up business. There, the handyman encounters numerous strange characters, including a local constable more inept than a squad car full of Keystone Kops; an elderly magistrate whose primary passion is spanking young women; a schoolmistress with a closetful of kinks; and more predatory housewives than the young man can handle.
