An omnibus featuring three Noel Coward tales, long on Coward humor which is to say very
little at all, with the first, " The Red Peppers", featuring Kay Walsh, Ted Ray, Martita Hunt,
Frank Pettingell and Bill Fraser, about a bickering vaudeville couple who form an alliance
when some of theie company start to needle the, and ends up in some non-amusing
slapstick. The second episode is "Fumed Oak" (with Stanley Holloway, Betty Ann Davies,
Mary Merrall and Dorothy Gordon)is about a squabbling, middle-class family where Holloway
has to contend with a ghastly mother-in-law, a selfish wife and a whining, complaining child
and, after 17 years, tells each of them off and departs their company; the third segment is
"Ways and Means" (with Valerie Hobson, Nigel Patrick, Jack Warner and Jessie Royce
Landis) about a pair of parasite who go from city to city as non-paying guests of wealthy
acquaintances. A wealthy American widow is trying to quietly kick them out of her French
Rivera home, and the couple, needing funds to get to Venice, hatch a scheme to fleece her
out of her gambling winnings.
