Wikipedia article
'Further Up the Creek' is a 1958 British comedy film written and directed by Val Guest and starring David Tomlinson, Frankie Howerd, Shirley Eaton, Thora Hird, Desmond Llewelyn and Lionel Jeffries. It served as a follow up to 'Up the Creek', with Peter Sellers not reprising his role because it clashed with the filming of 'The Mouse That Roared'. Frankie Howerd replaced him.
Plot
Navy frigate the "Aristotle" is sold to a Middle Eastern power, and against regulations the ship's bosun tries to make a profit by selling tickets to passengers seeking a luxury cruise. When the Captain discovers what is going on, he attempts to straighten things out.
