Synopsis

Peter "Venture Man" Graham, an actor who is the hero of a TV popular TV series, is forever being hounded by women, who just want to be with him. There is one fan in particular, Pixie Potter, who will just not give up. Eventually, Peter seeks refuge at the country rectory with his Uncle, the meek and mild Reverend Arthur Humphrey, the cleric of the Rectory.

Meanwhile, the Reverend's sister, Harriette, a formidable woman, has dismissed the housekeeper, an act which horrifies the Reverend. To fill the missing housekeeper role, he advertises for a wife, but absentmindedly omits the important word "marriage." These two occurrences resoundingly shatter the peace of the village. Answers to the ad pour in. The arrival of the (dignified) Bishop of Lax adds to the confusion. Peter finds the vicarage no refuge from Pixie Potter and even more hectic than the outside world.
