SYNOPSIS
Four London Bus mechanics strike up a deal with London Transport. They do up a double decker London Bus, and aim to drive it to the South of France as a sort of hotel. If they make it they reckon they might be able to charge people to go the following year and run it as a business.
While on the road in France they pick up 3 ladies whose car has broken down and offer to take them to their next singing job in Athens. They also pick up a stowaway - a young, American boy.
Meanwhile, a young American female singer has gone missing. Her mother (who is a VERY ambitious woman) and her press agent refused her a holiday, so she ran away. They take the story to the press, and her mother traces a phone call to the singer’s whereabouts. So, off they go in pursuit.
As the first half of the show draws to a close, we find out the young American boy is actually the young American girl, Barbara, who is missing. Mayhem ensues as the lead character, Don falls for Barbara, and the travellers cross through Switzerland, Italy, and into Greece trying to keep one step ahead of Barbara’s mother.
Eventually, when the 8 bus riders reach Athens, they're arrested for kidnapping. In front of her mother and a Ballroom filled with world-press, Barbara and Don declare their love for each other and the mother accepts (after realising how 'big' Don will become). The show ends with a beach party on a Greek beach with everyone very much enjoying their well-deserved holiday! |
