Synopsis:
Retired business-man Harry Tinsley is playing Chess with Solicitor friend Alec Grillom. He is bored and longs for old colleagues, particularly the women. The game is interrupted by the entry of his wife, Janet. She is in a rage, chiefly though not wholly on account of having just seen a play presented by a group of young offenders which is an uncomfortably-near-the-truth portrayal of Harry and his friends. Immediate litigation is discussed, but Harry relents when the charming author and one of her charges pays him a visit, and an accident obliges her to offer him a part. Alec however has different ideas, and Harry is deprived of his role, and left sadder but no wiser to be revitalised by a stranger.
