It’s fast, funny, and sexy! A young British bride living above a bank with her husband, who is the assistant manager, innocently sends a mail order off for some Scandinavian glassware. What comes back is NOT glassware, but Scandinavian smuttiness!! What can the nice young, conservative, happily married couple do with the veritable floods of filth? Photographs, books, films and eventually even girls threaten to engulf this happy couple. The matter is considerably complicated by the man's mother, his boss, a visiting bank inspector, a police superintendent and a muddled friend who does everything wrong in his reluctant efforts to set everything right, all of which works up to a hilarious ending of closing and slamming doors!
