Synopsis:

At the centre of his own universe sits matinee idol Garry Essendine: suave, hedonistic and too old, says his wife, to be having affairs. His line in harmless, infatuated debutantes is largely tolerated but playing closer to home is not. Just before his tour to Africa the full extent of his misdemeanours is discovered. And all hell breaks loose.
