A British production created by Monty Python alumni, this film concerns an inept chocolate-factory executive (Tyler Butterworth) who accidentally knocks three workers into a vat. The product is an incredible hit with consumers, though one of the workers' widows (Vanessa Redgrave) is considering blackmail.

Adapted from a play written by two Monty Python vets, this toothy satire launches with a tragic accident at Chumley's chocolate factory when hapless manager Ian Littleton (Tyler Butterworth) accidentally knocks several employees into a huge chocolate vat. When the resulting product is distributed and gets rave reviews from consumers, the factory owners need to decide how to handle this delicate -- but potentially highly profitable -- opportunity.

A satire about what happens when three men are accidentally shoved into a vat of chocolate in a candy factory...and chocolate lovers favor the resulting confections.
