An explosively funny version of Georges Feydeau's classic, with a complex series of mistaken identities, clandestine assignations and misplaced but explosive jealousies - all happening at breakneck speed. Victor Deboshe, a middle-class insurance salesman, becomes impotent and his wife, Yvonne, assumes he has taken a mistress. To test his fidelity she has her friend, Lucille, write an anonymous letter to Victor claiming to be infatuated with him and proposing a rendezvous at the notorious Hotel Pussy a Go-Go. Thinking a mistake has been made, Victor persuades his friend, Maurice (a famous womanizer), to keep the appointment for him, after which the complications begin to multiply uproariously. Eventually things are set right, but not before the action has expanded to include a violently jealous husband (a hot-blooded Spaniard), a suicidal leap from a window, a nephew with an unfortunate (but hilarious) speech defect, a furious Indian fakir and a lascivious butler, all tumbled together into a riotous medley of slamming doors, revolving beds and wildly amiss gun shots-all of which will leave audiences happily breathless from laughter.
