[Starring] Yvonne Arnaud and Charles Victor.

Britons abroad in the post-war world have troubles of a kind they rarely had before, troubles involving French francs, Swiss francs, dollars, and pounds. This light-hearted play is about precisely those problems - and how to solve them. That the solutions are often unorthodox merely adds spice to some already piquant situations.
