Synopsis

In England, novelist Guy Holden falls for Mimi after a chance meeting. To help a client gain a divorce, Guy’s lawyer friend Teddy Egbert hires a “paid co-respondent” at a Brighton hotel to fabricate adultery. Unaware the client is Mimi, Guy is mistaken for the accomplice, triggering misidentifications, clandestine hotel rendezvous, and mounting complications. When Mimi’s husband Robert arrives, a waiter reveals Robert’s genuine infidelity, dissolving the case and freeing Mimi to unite with Guy.
