Plot
Following a short opening story in which a henpecked husband (Bartlett Mullins) finds relief from his wife's nagging by employing the use of a sex doll, a presenter (Richard Wattis) tells a quartet of stories concerning adultery and infidelity. The first concerns Lisa (Jane Cardew), a flirty miniskirted office secretary, who seduces married fellow office worker Chris (Peter Dunn). The second story involves Liz (Maggie Wright), a gold-digging model, who becomes involved with a married and rich tennis player (Anthony Bailey), including seducing him in his private jet, and then leaves him when his divorce from his wife Flora leaves him penniless. In the third story Guy (Raymond Young), a middle-aged man, is seduced by his daughter Louise's eighteen-year-old schoolfriend Sarah (Felicity Devonshire) when he offers to paint her portrait. The fourth story involves cheating husband Ted (Max Mason) whose affair with his wife's best friend (Louise Pajo) results in him sharing a house with both his wife (Barbara Meale) and his mistress.
