Synopsis

Crouch, a partner in the fur salon business of Bodley and Crouch, struggles to keep the business successful despite Bodley's womanizing. Bodley tries to secure the affections of his latest would-be mistress by "selling" her husband an expensive mink coat at a reduced price, and the stammering Couch must consummate the sale with a straight face. However, the husband decides the bargain coat is the perfect gift for his own mistress. There are suspicious wives, mistaken identities, and scantily clad girls stuffed into closets.

Director's Notes

Sometimes you just need to laugh.

In the cold dark nights of winter it has always been the practice of humans to gather in small bands and watch as some members of the group stood in the light and told tales or sang songs. In this way they held off the gloom, and displaced the fears if malevolent spirits that the retreat of the sun brought on. There were tales of glory and tales of beauty and tales of foolishness and humor.

We ask you now to join with us in laughter; to disperse the spirits of winter and cold and sadness; to revel in the foolishness of others.

We also ask you to keep in minds the words of Mark Twain:

NOTICE
