But they are preparing to flee their cosy nest for adventures further afield. Mona Ramsey embarks on a cross-country trip that takes her to a brothel which may hold a secret about her past. Michael 'Mouse' Tolliver and Mary Ann Singleton go on a cruise where they meet up with lovers old and new. Brian Hawkins becomes involved with a mysterious woman he spots from his window, and DeDe Halcyon Day gets acquainted with a new friend who helps her discover her true inner feelings. Dramatised by Barbara Lavery, this is both a sparkling comedy of manners and a portrait of a free and easy era.
