When Henry Perkins, a middle-aged English businessman, comes home at the end of the day, his rather ordinary birthday dinner with friends turns into quite an extraordinary night of laughter and mayhem for the audience. Henry has inadvertantly picked up the wrong briefcase at the train station only to discover a rather large amount of cash instead of his personal belongings. Thinking the briefcase is already stolen and could not be reported as missing by the initial thief, Henry books a flight to Barcelona for himself and his wife and summons a taxi to take them to the airport. As they contemplate the good life and hurridley begin to pack, the birthday guests, two detectives, and one very confused but game taxi-driver make their getaway plans somewhat difficult. In order to conceal the plans, we find as the evening goes on, that no one knows exactly who is going where and why but that someone has got to get to the airport! Herny's secret is eventually brought to light and the ending is as satisfying as it is funny. Non-stop laughter in this hilarious British farce.
