Monsieur Feydeau has writer�s block, and he needs a new play. But he takes an opportunity to observe the upper class of 1900 Paris, Monsieur Boniface with a domineering wife, and the next-door neglectful husband Henri with a beautiful, but ignored wife, Marcelle. Henri traces architectural anomalies (most ghost sounds are drains), and plans a night at the , but this hotel is the assignation spot of Marcelle and Boniface. One wife, two husbands, a nephew, and the perky Boniface maid, all at this �by the hour� hotel, and consummation of the affair is, to say the least, severely compromised (not the least by a police raid). All of this under Feydeau�s eye, and his play is the �success fou� of the next season.
