Further details

With their own car at the bottom of a river, Frank and Betty can't go away anywhere, and Betty really wants a day at the seaside. Frank is successful with a job that comes with a car, and so takes Betty out for a picnic on the clifftops. The day gets off to a good start, but events take a turn for the worst when the firm's car ends up hanging off the cliff edge, with Frank clinging to the back bumper. Their situation looks impossible to make better, until a team of rugby players come to their rescue.
