""George" (Mark Stone) in on the verge of a great deal - but he is shy of the last £1,000. He manages to convince his wife to let him use her string of pearls as collateral, providing she gets them back in time for a party at the end of the week. His would-be partner "Vane" (Aubrey Mallalieu) accepts then promptly lends the pearls to his wife who in turn passes them onto "Doreen" (Googie Withers) who lends them to her ex "Harry" (John Stuart) and he... How on earth are they going to get back to "Mrs. Vane" (Annie Esmond)? For the most part this is really little better than a radio play on the big screen. Very dialogue heavy, though sometimes still quite amusing, and static in it's presentation. Still, at only an hour it flows along fine with Withers and Stuart having the tiniest of sparks together to keep it afloat. This is certainly not a film you will ever remember watching."
