Running a Health and Strength Home in a large and somewhat decaying
country mansion can be a hazardous undertaking at any time, as Eddie Manchip knows. When one is further beset by a sinister crook to whom
one has signed away the deeds of the house in payment of a gambling
debt; a complete desertion of the staff except for one half-witted
and generally hysterically excited maid; an erring, pompous brother;
his suspicious wife; a tennis-player in the nude; a quick change
artist who appears as someone different every ten minutes or so; the
tennis player's kilted Scottish husband and a hearty countrywoman
grabbing second-hand clothing - then the result can be, in a word -
chaos.
