SYNOPSIS

Roland, a hard-drinking tycoon is thinking of buying an old Victorian house, once a brothel. His solicitor and builder arrive to complete the deal. Roland's wife is a frustrated dancer who is thinking of leaving him, and calls in her brother to help her with this next step; then her brother's fiancée turns up. She too is thinking of leaving him....  In one night of hilarity the various characters try to sort themselves out. All this takes place in a highly original setting. All the rooms, passages and stairs are on one level.
