“Hilarious, outrageous... It dazzles!”
- The New York Times

Fallen trousers, a little blackmail, and a lot of sexual innuendo abound in this anarchic romp of hysterically silly proportions. Dr. Prentice is married to a nymphomaniac. When caught by his wife interviewing an attractive new secretary, he hides her in the office. Unbeknownst to him, Mrs. Prentice is being seduced and blackmailed by a lusty bellhop who wants the same position. Throw in a government inspector, cross-dressing, and slamming doors, and the laughs keep coming in this relentlessly funny comedy.
