- SynopsisComedy drama. Northerner Jenny Bunn moves south for a teaching job. She lodges in the house of lascivious local Labour councillor Dick Thompson (currently up for re-election) and his long-suffering wife Martha. Jenny meets her fellow lodger's sometime boyfriend Patrick Standish, a graphics lecturer. Patrick woos Jenny but is dismayed that she attempts to preserve her old-fashioned romantic ideals, and her virginity, against his modern advances. Dick's suave, well-to-do campaign manager Julian hopes that Dick's influence will mean plans for a new airport runway will leave his impressive country mansion alone. Julian is intrigued by Patrick's relative lack of success with Jenny, and he begins to take a certain interest in her himself. Dick proves hopeless at getting the airport plans changed, and, Julian, before leaving his mansion, throws a party. At the party, Jenny will make a fateful decision which will, ironically, uncover the hidden romantic nature in one of her admirers. (Synopsis)
