A theatre producer and an actor try and have a quiet week in a country cottage. Their efforts are thwarted by the arrival of a variety of wives, girlfriends and scoutmasters.
Monthly Film Bulletin said "An absurd farce, with impersonations, misunderstandings and dressing-ups galore; people who find these funny will no doubt find them funny."[3]
In British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 David Quinlan rated the film as "mediocre", writing: "Typically long and hoary Mancunian farce."[4]
