Synopsis
When their car breaks down in the country, a couple have to stay at a nearby luxury hotel. Despite being well-off, the miserly wife takes advantage of a special offer to get her husband a cheap room by pretending he is her chauffeur while taking an expensive one for herself as a "baroness". Complications ensue however when a chambermaid begins to fall for her husband, while she herself is courted by one of the guests.
