The thriller is elegant and witty and has many interesting turns, which constantly seem to surprise those responsible for the charade. Louis Hayward and his elderly friend 'the doctor' get caught in a storm after having been ruined at the races, they get a ride with a truck, which has to throw them out when he is going off the road, and the two clowns are caught out in the wilderness in the rain. There they find an empty house, into which they break and make themselves comfortable, until a butler and an entire household staff turns up to serve them, and Louis is treated like the son of the family, which he doesn't mind at all - he willingly takes on that role play, and plays it successfully, until the complications start getting a little thick, as the real son of the family is arrested for murder, whereupon Louis takes it upon him to prove his innocence and get him released, and so the whirling merry-go-round of complications goes on constantly speeding it up.
It's an efficient criminal comedy with some romance in it and lots of fun, but it is merely entertainment. Louis Hayward makes as good as always, and the others do their best to keep it up with him. It's great entertainment for one time's sake but hardly ever again.
