New York City
Henry A. Perkins, a mild-mannered accountant accidentally picks up the wrong briefcase–one full of money. He decides to keep it, and books two one-way fares to Barcelona for him and his confused wife, Jean. But when a detective threatens to arrest Henry for suspicious behaviour, things start to get complicated. Then another detective arrives who thinks Henry is dead. Henry’s inept attempts to explain the situation lead to increasingly hysterical predicaments in Ray Cooney’s hilarious comedy.
