Film Synopsis. P ompeii, 79 AD. Mount Vesuvius is about to blow its top, but the locals are too preoccupied with their binging, whoring and general all-round debauchery to notice. Lurcio is busy making the preparations for an orgy to be hosted by his master, Ludicrus Sextus, when he has a set-to with the sour-tempered centurion Bilius.

And when the upstart slave is elected to infiltrate the ringleader's den, the comical ups-and-downs lead to total uproar. A funny thing happens to Lurcio (Frankie Howerd) on the way to the rent-a-vestal-virgin market stall.
