Towards the end of the Thatcher government a Member of Parliament attempts to arrange a dalliance with a secretary for the P.M. in an out of the way little hotel.

Unfortunately, he engages one of his aides to arrange the whole thing. The aide is something of a charming bumbler and he gets everything all mixed up.

Also on hand are the pompously disapproving hotel manager, a venal waiter and a female Labour politician who crusades against pornography on the one hand, while on the other she is trying to lure the bumbling civil servant into bed!
