British aristocrats Victor and Hillary Rhyall allow guests to tour their mansion to cover expenses; during one such tour, wealthy Texan Charles Delacro takes an interest in Hillary. Drawing room comedies were by 1960 out of fashion and this one betrays its stage origins, but is still quite enjoyable. Grant and Kerr's parts were originally contemplated for Rex Harrison and Kay Kendall.
