Fugitive insurance fraudster Owen is hiding out where you’d least expect – almost in the shadow of Dartmoor Prison.

Wife Joy is fed up and plans a getaway with the first passing motorist. He turns out to be Guy, one of Owen’s victims, and an acquaintance of hers when she was a teenager. He’s there to rendezvous with another old acquaintance, prison escapee Charlie.

Matters are complicated by hazy weather, and visits from ‘Poison Violet’, a much-widowed man-eater, and postmistress-cum-Prison Visitor Miss Hoare. But the arrival of heiress Des in her helicopter helps resolve the situation.

Adapted from the classic Polish comedy ‘Pan Jowialski’, written in 1832 by Aleksander Fredro, Poland’s greatest comic playwright, which satirises in the character of Helena the extremes of the then fashionable ‘Romantic’ movement.

In it the Jovialski country estate is the setting for a practical joke played by Janusz, a boorish landowner, on two travelling students, Ludmir and Victor.

The joke backfires, leading to his own discomfiture, the victory of traditional good sense over romantic nonsense, a mother’s reunion with her long-lost child, and an ending in which true love is triumphant.
