To complicate matters, Indians threaten to attack and the only way to escape is by tackling dangerous rapids on a raft. "HEIDI AND PETER " relates the further adventure of " Heidi," the famous Lazar Wechsler production that scored so sensational a triumph on the international screen two years ago.

Showing the hilarious complications that occur when a prominent civil servant and a naval officer swap identities, "CARRY ON ADMIRAL" stars David Tomlinson. "KILL ME TOMORROW" stars Pat O'Brien, Lois Maxwell and George Coulouris. Tommy Steele, the rock 'n' roll singer, also appears. An out of work newspaper reporter is faced with an agonizing dilemma.
