Other characters include the glamorous American heiress, Miss Hermione Bellville, who is visiting Shropshire, and the hapless private detective, Monty Bodkin, who is hired by Lady Constance to keep an eye on her brother.As the preparations for the show progress, chaos ensues, with mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and a series of hilarious misunderstandings.
