Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Molly, an actress desperate for work, decides to get it by "playing the part" of an experienced housekeeper. It turns out that the butler at her new household is doing the same thing. Their employer, Mr. Graham, is a retired politician who, divorced from his wife and estranged from his son, lives alone with a staff of servants. Graham's life needs shaking up and, with her enthusiasm and acting talent, Molly is just the one to help him do it when the opportunity arises. Written by Anonymous |

| Quotes |
Harry Phillips:
Well, I can't go back on the stage because all my clothes are designed for domestic service. And I can't continue in domestic service because all my references point to the fact that I was on the stage. I can't even throw myself in the Thames because I happen to be an extraordinarily good swimmer. See more » |
