This hilarious farce is truly about mistaken identity, and about how far
people once used to have to go to avoid even the appearance of
"impropriety".

Summary
Peter Wykeham and attractive Mrs. Marguerite Hickett find themselves stranded in a back country inn, where they must stay the night. In order to get a room, they must convince the prudish landlady that they are man and wife. All hell breaks loose, though, when they are tracked down by their spouses, demanding an explanation.
