Jean is preparing a birthday dinner for her mild mannered accountant husband Henry. Good friends Vic and Betty are expected
any minute and Jean is frantic because Henry is late. When he eventually arrives, Jean finds him not quite the man he
used to be. He wants to emigrate to Barcelona immediately, and with good reason: the briefcase he accidentally picked
up on the Underground is stuffed with bundles of fifty pound notes amounting to £1,000,000! But if getting the money was
easy, keeping it proves harder, as not one but two police inspectors call and Henry, Vic, Betty and a bemused (and tipsy) Jean are
forced into a frantic game of cat and mouse.
Hilarious innuendo and cruelly funny turns of fate ensue as the two couples
assume all sorts of identities in their battle to keep the money. Will they succeed? The cabby, cheeky Bill,
has the answer!
