Four bus mechanics working for London Transport strike up a deal with the company: they do up a one of the company's legendary red double decker buses and take it to southern Europe as a mobile hotel.

While on the road in France they pick up three young British ladies whose car breaks down and offer to take them to their next singing job in Athens.
