Angela Barrows (Constance Cummings) is a man-eating business woman who is sent by her American employer to investigate their export opportunities in Edinburgh. En route she meets Robert MacPherson (Robert Morley) a business woman who asks for her help to bring his company into the 20th century. The staff, led by Mr Martin (Peter Sellers), has other ideas however, and a comic battle between the old and new business methods soon brakes out. A vintage eter Sellers comedy that ranks amongst his funniest.
