The film is a marvellous filmed record of the spirit of traditional British music hall, or vaudeville, comedy. George Lacy plays the lead in this film, which is the only film in which he ever acted. He was Britain's most famous female impersonator, and he spent most of his life (he died aged 85) playing 'pantomine dames' on stage.
An actor masquerades as the duchess of a stately home to impress a wealthy American producer and his daughter.
