Summary
Jane and Sybil are on the verge of the deal of their lives. They have rented a hotel suite for a very private showing of their “Passion Fashion Wear” lingerie.

They have anticipated every contingency, expect the arrival of their jealous husbands, who have jumped to the wrong conclusions. Combine suspicious spouses, stolen underwear and mistaken identities with five million dollars, a scantily clad model and a lecherous security guard and you have the recipe for this giddy farce in the classic tradition.
