Operation Stogie (1959)

Having been caught gambling during a surprise army inspection by a high ranking officer who wants to cut the number of troops gaining promotion in the ranks, Ted and Jock - considered two of the more hopeless cases - are given a seemingly impossible mission by their superior officer. In order to make officer grade, they must gain entry to a exclusive party hosted by the anti smoking Lady Cormorant - a snobbish woman who is very particular who she allows into her home - and in the process have their photos taken with her smoking a cigar as proof. Failure to do so will lead to their dismissal! How are they going to manage it?
