Plot Synopsis:
In a stylishly converted French farmhouse, Bernard is hoping to entertain his chic, Parisian mistress, Suzy, for the weekend. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to furnish the gourmet delights, is in the process of packing his wife, Jacqueline, off to her mother, and has even invited his best friend, Robert, as a suitable alibi. It’s foolproof. What could possibly go wrong?
Well, suppose Robert turns up without knowing why he’s been invited? Say, Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers? Or how about the cook being mistaken for the mistress and the mistress—who can’t cook—being introduced as the cook? Mix all these ingredients and you have the perfect recipe for an evening of hilarious confusion as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed!
