A married couple, Dick and Janet Lawson, both face temptations while separated for a few days. Dick meets an attractive female fellow-traveller in Paris while Janet accidentally spends a night aboard a Royal Navy ship with a male friend after she is stranded following a party. Despite knowing the essential innocence of both husband and wife, their sinister new butler, Ford, uses information about their escapades to demand blackmail payments.
