William Douglas Home demonstrated in The Chiltern Hundreds that politics could be funny; he continues that demonstration in this sequel. The Earl and Countess of Lister are taking a holiday in the remote lodge owned by their butler Beecham. They are joined there by their son Captain Pym and his American wife; by Lord Cleghorn, who is a Socialist peer, and by his Conservatively-inclined wife. They are all here to get away from an impending general election but it seems to pursue them for the nearest seat looks like being uncontested. Can Beecham, or Lady Pym, or Lord Cleghorn with their different political passions allow this to happen?
