Mißwahl auf englisch (1973)
Fircombe, ein kleines verregnetes Kaff an der englischen Küste, leidet unter akutem Besuchermangel. Um das zu ändern, ruft Stadtrat Sidney Fiddler Miss-Wahlen ins Leben. Sehr zum Ärger der Stadträtin Augusta Prodworthy. Die fanatische Frauenrechtlerin lässt fortan keine Möglichkeit aus, Fiddlers Vorhaben zu sabotieren. Bürgermeister Frederick Bumble, erster Bürger Fircombes, stets bemüht ehrenvoll in Erscheinung zu treten, gerät zwischen die Fronten, wird das Opfer peinlicher Vorfälle, und steht am Ende meist ohne Hosen da. Auch die Hotelbesitzerin Connie Philpotts ist nicht sonderlich begeistert. Nicht nur dass ihr Angebeteter Sidney sich persönlich zu sehr um das Wohl der jungen Damen bemüht - die natürlich auch nicht für ihre Zimmer zahlen - auch die Stammgäste verlassen fluchtartig das Hotel. Doch Fiddler lässt nicht locker. Er überredet sogar den Werbestrategen Peter Potter, als Dragqueen verkleidet für einen Publicity-Skandal zu sorgen ...
