peter seller play dick scratcher ( ha and ha ) and a cook for a pirate ship who take over a captain after he murder the previous one . although he witness a treasure be bury and he begin lose his memory and the treasure map he obtain becomes blank . thus and dick be force to find someone who can see and communicate with ghost ( do you place an ad for that . ) and help lead a path to the treasure . it mind boggle how anyone could have bankroll this pointless film . former goon spike milligan replace medak a director and and give medak talent in the film the ruling class and you can probably guess which of the grainy and poorly lit scene have milligan in the director chair . peter boyle make a brief appearance in the film first 10 minute a the doomed pirate captain . he probably quite thankful that young frankenstein be release the same year this be film and can and so that he can keep this off his resume . franciosa look dash a the handsome power behind scratcher but he and seller both look pretty desperate and with even seller makeup and hair look quite terrible . they have to know this movie be bomb even a they be film it . with line like these and i can understand any possible unease representpierre represent ( about to be hang ) you will pay for this . scratcher represent no and i would not . i will do it for free . and that one of the good joke . it amaze to me that much of seller prolific material be still in the vault and but this be make available on vhs more than 15 year ago . how about someone step up to the plate and releasing in the u the well received british tv program a show call fred star seller and milligan and and direct by the great richard lester .
