One of the Tonight At 8:30 series produced in London and New York. Single Karl and married Louise grow sentimental while waltzing and fall desperately in love. When Louise's stodgy husband finds them kissing, she must ask her new lover his name in order to introduce him to her socially impeccable husband. After a night of discussion, frequently interrupted by sandwiches and drinks, Louise wins her freedom but finds, in the light of dawn, that she doesn't want it.
