“Make room for a riot!!!”
Monsieur Feydeau has writer's block and he needs a new play. But he takes an opportunity to observe the upper class of 1900 Paris - Monsieur Boniface with a domineering wife and the next-door neglectful husband Henri with a beautiful but ignored wife Marcelle. Henri traces architectural anomalies (most ghost sounds are drains) and plans a night at the Hotel Paradiso; but this hotel is the assignation spot of Marcelle and Boniface. One wife two husbands a nephew and the perky Boniface maid all at this 'by the hour' hotel and consummation of the affair is to say the least severely compromised (not the least by a police raid). All of this under Feydeau's eye and his play is the 'success fou' of the next season.
