Although the visit of the courier is generally a nice one – in the case of a young couple, the Hunters, it is the beginning of an incredible story. Frances, the wife of Peter Hunter, a young banker, when ordering Scandinavian glass, didn’t expect that she would find pornographic materials in the package delivered to their apartment located above the bank in which Peter works. The couple, afraid of the scandal, tires together with Brian, their friend, to get rid of this obscene shipment at all costs. The whole affair is further complicated by the appearance of Eleanor, the mother of Peter; Mr Bromhead, his boss, a banking officer; Mr Needham; Paul, the police superintendent; and also… two ladies of pleasure.
