Overview

A humorous, sometimes absurd and sometimes just light-hearted comedy, this story sets up the premise of a couple's search for a housemaid, with a series of impossible women providing the hilarity. When Richard and Kate Michael Craig and Anne Heywood return from their honeymoon, they discover that Kate's father has given them a maid as a wedding gift. The trouble is that the maid has a good portion of the U.S. Navy in the house when they arrive, in a more-or-less wild orgy. Exit maid. The couple then hire Rosemary Joan Hickson who tipples to excess, making her service at a dinner party an insurmountable challenge. Exit Rosemary. Enter Blodwen Joan Sims a homesick woman from Wales who cannot live outside her native environment. Exit Blodwen. And so it goes, even through a gorgeous French maid Mylene Demongeot who causes more than a mild uproar among the couple's friends. It seems the help is either too bad or too good.
