The title of this film "En herre med bart" translates as "A Gentleman with mustaches". It is the the story of a married couple, a hardworking lawyer and his wife. The wife is fed up with the marriage and wants a divorce, something the husband won't let her have.

She then comes up with a devious plan. She gets one of her most beautiful friends to rush into her husband's office and disturb him. After a lot of intrigue, she ends up changing into a new dress in his office and at just that moment, the wife rushes in and misunderstands everything on purpose. The wife uses this as an excuse to ask for a divorce.

To calm his nerves the husband leaves his home and travels to a spa in the country. Here he encounters both his wife, her friend and a gentleman with mustaches with whom both women have become infatuated. Now the four of them have to work things out between them.

This is a Norwegian classic and it features two of Norway's most well known theater actors, Per Aabel and Wenche Foss, as the husband and the wife. The film is light hearted fun.
