This
classic evergreen farce is set in Oxford during Commemoration Week. The imminent
visit of Charles Wykeham's aunt from Brazil, Donna Lucia, provides an excuse
for Charles and Jack to invite their young ladies to meet here. When a telegram
arrives postponing Donna Lucia's visit, they persuade their amiable friend Babbs
(since they must have a chaperon) to impersonate the aunt. Here the fun begins,
Babbs thoroughly enjoys being kissed and caressed by the girls and receiving
their confidences, but finds ingenuity severely taxed when brought face to face
with the real Donna Lucia. Moreover, Donna Lucia amuses herself by concealing
her identity while declaring that she knew Donna Lucia's husband most intimately...
