Dorothy and Robert find themselves in an escalating web of high-stakes deception after accepting a seemingly charming invitation to stay at a country house for the weekend.

With a potentially lucrative television deal in sight, Robert and Mrs McNab unite over their shared desire for a Rolls Royce.

Having disagreed in strong terms about new tiling for the kitchen in Robert's flat, Dorothy and he both engage in the silent treatment. However, with his duties as a butler still to perform, and her due to host a reception later that evening, it's not long before they're struggling to maintain a frosty distance.

Doroth's accountant, a Mr. Campbell, pays his yearly visit. It's invariably a stressful occasion for all concerned, but this time she and Robert are adamant that the books are in order. It's just at that point that some distant Scottish relatives arrive uninvited...

A salesman calls at the McNab residence hoping to offload a set of encyclopaedia volumes. It quickly becomes apparent that he has the most peculiar manner of any salesman either Dorothy or Robert have ever encountered!

After promising an unloved dressing table to the Vicar's Scout group, Dorothy is alarmed to discover it's actually an antique worth at least £300, and they merely intend it for firewood! Soon the Vicar, Priest and Baptist Minister are knocking at the door.

Having fought over control of the thermostat, Dorothy bets Robert that she can sneak her way into his strictly gentlemen-only club and stay for 3 hours undetected. Predictably, neither party are likely to play fair. The game's afoot.
