When an English pilot and a German baron appear in a down-at-heel town in neutral southern Ireland at the start of WW2, ex-convent-girl Mary Collins's hopes of making it to Hollywood get caught up in a comic battle for survival.
COMEDY FROM ENVELOPEBOOKS
In neutral Ireland in 1940, where wartime combatants live side by side, an Englishman and a German each need the other to betray his country. And if Ireland's nationalist firebrands get their way, the two may have to fight to the death.
But hang on! Just a few months earlier, Flight Lieutenant Oliver Carmichael and Baron Julius von Stulpnagel were living together in Berlin, trying to sell forged paintings. So what are they doing in rundown Ballingore, and how will ex-convent-girl Mary Collins and her devoted red-headed sidekick Niamh Slattery play into their hands?
A hilarious Irish farce, with all the slapstick humour of an Ealing Studios comedy.
