About the content
Henry Perkins arrives home late and drunk on his birthday of all days. He couldn't care less about the upcoming celebration, he just wants to get away, far away and right away. Two flights to Barcelona - without a return flight - have already been booked. What's wrong with Henry? Nothing, nothing at all - money without end, a whole briefcase full, 735,000 pounds to be precise. What happened? He mistook his briefcase for a stranger's on the subway and is suddenly rich, fabulously rich. This is the opportunity of a lifetime! Now let's get out of here! But it's not that easy - all sorts of unpleasant guests turn up at Henry's house first: Betty and Vic Johnson, a friendly couple, Detective Davenport, who asks a lot of questions, an annoying cab driver who no longer understands the world and finally Sergeant Slater, who has fished a dead man out of the Thames with the papers of the supposed Henry Perkins. In short, it's a hopeless mess that gets worse with every hair-raising situation. The tragicomic hero is driven from one catastrophe to the next.
Unrestrained laughter is guaranteed in this top-class English farce by old master Ray Conney!
