There is no overarching story, other than a series of short stories, each linking to Bond street.
Stories include: a deliberately ripped dress; a man ripping his trousers, and getting a lunch-date with the seamstress; and a man trying to avoid a suddenly materialised love interest from Denmark.
Trade papers called the film a "notable box office attraction" in British cinemas in 1948.[7] As of 1 April 1950 the film earned distributor's gross receipts of £104,588 in the UK of which £59,611 went to the producer.[1]
