A sequel to the surprisingly successful "Salt and Pepper," this film sees Rat Packers Sammy Davis Jr. and Peter Lawford reprising their roles as Charles Salt and Chris Pepper, owners of a cool nightclub in London's swinging Soho area. According to TCM, this was directed by none other than Jerry Lewis (Britannica notes it's actually the only film the legendary comic directed but did not appear in), which adds a bit of extra Rat Packiness to it due to Lewis's longtime association with Dean Martin.
The story is pretty dumb: After losing their club, Salt and Pepper ask Pepper's wealthy twin brother for help, only to find him murdered. Pepper naturally assumes his identity, as one does (per Radio Times). As noted by Senses of Cinema, why Lewis agreed to direct this film is a bit of a mystery, and even Lewis superfans admit it's not very good. The humor is pretty broad, as in a sequence where Davis takes some snuff and emits a series of sneezes so powerful they knock people over and destroy property.
