When a Man Marries

This delightful comedy of errors tells the story of a bunch of society types who become sequestered together for a week when the house they are visiting is put under quarantine for smallpox. There are characters posing as a couple to placate a nosy aunt; missing jewels; and guests who consider it a struggle to survive a week without servants. A witty romp full of hilarious twists and turns.
