Setting: The exclusive London fur salon of Bodley and Crouch
Synopsis: Well meaning, but somewhat bumbling, Crouch struggles to keep things on an even keel despite the energetic philandering of his partner, Bodley. Boldley is trying to secure the affections of his latest would-be mistress by "selling" her husband an expensive mink fur coat for a fraction of its real worth. Crouch is saddled with the task of consummating the sale with a straight face. But, as luck would have it, the husband seizes the bargain coat as the perfect gift for his own mistress-whereupon the complications expand uproariously, with poor Crouch caught in the middle.
Suspicious wifes, mistaken identities, scantily clad girls clapped hurriedly into closets and a continuous barrage of rapid fire jokes all become part of the hillarious doings, as the action of the play bubbles along merrily right up to the final curtain when , miraculously and to the great releif of all concerned, everything somehow manages to work out as it should. |
