Synopsis

Amanda and George have an arrangement by which one alternative Wednesdays each leaves the other to indulge in his or her private dalliance. All goes will until an unfortunate circumstance upsets the timetable. As a result the Wednesdays clash. Henry and Jane, the other partners, arrive on the same day. Keeping them apart causes complications. When Henry is concussed in the bathroom and finds himself on the bed clad only in a towel and attended to by both ladies, a convenient lapse of memory seems providential in saving a situation rendered even more tricky by the revelation that Jane and Henry are married. Just how genuine the lapse is may be questioned, but everything is carried off with perfect aplomb.
