Monsieur Pontagnac adores women - respectable, married women especially. He cannot help but pursue them through the streets of Paris. His latest quarry, Lucienne, is proving more than a match: not only is she wooed by other suitors, she is his best friend's wife, and worse, faithful to her husband. The esteemed Monsieur Vatelin would never give her cause to break her marriage vows would he? Secret assignations and rising passions lead all parties to a night of surprise and scandal at the racey Hotel Ultimus. In Feydeau's sparkling farce, Paris is the capital of stylish chic and uncontrollable lust. Husbands and wives, lovers and mistresses, are all in mad pursuit of pleasure with only one rule - don't get caught in flagrante delicto.
