Comedy by Guy Paxton and Edward V. Hoile.
"Charles Pentwick, a flamboyant and successful theatrical producer is a very lucky man. He’s always surrounded by gorgeous actresses and attractive chorus girls. Only one problem. His wife is a jealous and suspicious woman. With just cause! To escape being henpecked, he and his actor friend Bobby Bentley flee to a country cottage. Ah the peace and quiet! Expecting to be greeted by the housekeeper, plain Mrs Harris, they find she is replaced by her pert and pretty daughter, Molly, whose eyes alight with delight on Bobby. Then the tantalising French starlet, Fritzy Villiers, who fancies Charles, descends on the cottage. So that when, unannounced, Mrs Charles Pentwick arrives, she reacts. Vehemently! Only one solution, decides Bobby, the actor. To make things look respectable, he will dress up and impersonate the housekeeper! Matters are further complicated when, Dick, the love-sick son of Charles, looking for paternal guidance, also appears. As does Mr Mole, the wonderfully dotty scout-master, camping nearby, who is confused by all these shenanigans. Events spin deliriously out of control and soon the whole cast are romping through a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mistaken identities. This glorious comedy is a delicious cocktail full of zest and fizz – guaranteed to send the audience home with a spring in their step and a twinkle in their eye."
