Part bawdy bedroom farce, part zany crime caper, this saucy British romp stars Martin Clunes as a charming underachiever on the run from the law. Sure, he's manipulative, moneygrubbing, and completely amoral. But is he a murderer? Absolutely not, he insists--despite the pesky corpses piling up.
After befriending an accountant (Neil Dudgeon), he beds the man's randy wife, Karen (Julie Graham), before a wealthy widow (Lindsay Duncan) next catches his eye. When Karen meets an untimely demise, a plodding police detective (James Bolam) gets involved, and things take a decidedly dicey turn.
