Potash and Perlmutter are in the dress business and full of troubles. They are partners but they specialise in having rows, sounding very angry with each other - and uniting rapidly and vehemently if anyone else tries to join in. Their current problems involve a lawyer who is also an estate agent and a trade union leader, a designer who is too good to be allowed to stay with a competitor, and a strange young man the partners have recently employed. He seems inoffensive enough; very mild, very polite, even efficient. But he has an involved political past and when that catches up with him the partnership, which seemed indissoluble, looks like going under.
