Rita Webb as the aggravated Clippie on the 133 bus in the freezing snow scattered streets of London gives Charles Hawtrey a rough ride as he jumps aboard chasing two strange looking women in orange coats and not much else! as they disappear upstairs and he tries to follow Rita exclaims "Hey you can't do that love, i'll be reporting you if I see you doing that again"  in true Hawtrey gent style he says "Oh I beg your pardon" and goes to climb the stairs but Rita ain't having none of it and fires back "Just a minute mate, where yer going?" Hawtrey stumbles backwards and says "Oh yes hmm" and holds on to the bar of the bus so he can push his body out to see where the bus is going and pops himself back on board and declares to Rita "Islington" and fumbles about in his pockets for some change saying "Shan't keep you a moment" as Rita looks on in disgust! he pulls a £5 note out of his wallet and Rita spouts out "If you think i'm changing that you've got another thing coming" then with a panned look groans "Oh my gawd it's gonna be one of them days" she has a change of heart and motions with her hand to Hawtrey saying "alright then go on up the stairs" Hawtrey thanks her and mounts the stairs as Rita continues "Go on and i'll come up when i've got some change" as this happens the two girls start coming down the stairs pushing Hawtrey aside who starts to follow them turning to Rita to say "Em' i'm getting off" Rita shouts back "Just a minute ere you, not only will I have you for jumping on this bus but i'll have you for not paying yer fair either, come on I want five pence off yer" Hawtrey shuffles about and finds some coins and hands them over and jumps off the bus after the girls as Rita shouts after him  "Hey four eyes yer ain't gotcha change!" the entire scene is shot from the back of an old route master bus.
