Laugh? I Nearly Went to Miami! is a zany and fast moving comedy of confusion. When Tom Weals, an Elvis fanatic, and Alice his fiancee are unable, due to fog, to fly to Miami for an Elvis Presley Convention, they arrive back at Tom's Colchester flat to find that they have inadvertently picked up the wrong suitcases at the airport and are now in possession of half a million dollars.
Further confusion arises with the arrival of, firstly, Tom's flashy brother Barney, who is hoping to use the flat to seduce Muriel, his latest girlfriend and then Alice's eccentric Auntie with a bag containing $20,000 (a wedding present for Tom and Alice). Frankie, a thug working for the owner of the suitcase dollars adds to the confusion and it takes a real policeman, Inspector Hendy, to finally sort everything out!
