The Story
Product Description
First in the series of films based on the cartoon creations of Ronald
Searle. Miss Millicent Fritton (Alastair Sim), headmistress of St
Trinian's School for Girls, attempts to stave off her creditors by
'looking after' the pocket money of a wealthy sheikh's daughter
currently enrolled at the school, and investing it on the sheikh's
horse, Arab Boy, in the local derby. Unfortunately, Miss Fritton's
bookmaking brother Clarence (also Sim) has backed another horse, and
kidnaps Arab Boy to ensure his own sizeable win. Miss Fritton enlists
the help of disreputable boot boy Flash Harry (George Cole), the
teaching staff and the Old Girls in rescuing Arab Boy and returning him
to the race.
