Plot

A madcap British farce about mistresses and minks in the London fur salon of Bodley, Bodley and Crouch. Gilbert Bodley plans to sell an expensive mink to a mobster dirt-cheap for his wife, because the wife is Gilbert's mistress and he wants to "close the deal." However, instead of doing his own dirty work, he gets his reluctant partner, Arnold Crouch, to do it for him. Things go awry when the mobster plans to buy it for his OWN mistress, and soon the whole plan goes out the window along with women's clothing and a few other things. Mistaken identities, scantily-clad women kept hidden in closets, mobsters, suspicious wives, and misguided shoppers keep this comedy trucking along in the spirit of the Marx Brothers and "Noises Off" (1992).—Michael Puskar
