Adaptations of three short stories by W. Somerset Maugham. ' The Ant & the Grasshopper' concerns the trials & tribulations through which a ne'er-do-well brother, Tom Ramsey (Nigel Patrick), puts his prim-&-proper businessman brother, George Ramsey (Roland Culver). The escapades that drive George to absolute distraction eventually win the hand of the world's third richest girl (Margaret Withers) for the shiftless Tom. ' Winter Cruise' finds the crew of a cargo boat becoming unglued by the endless chatter of a spinster passenger named Miss Reid (Kay Walsh.) In a desperate attempt to silence the prattling busybody, the ship's officers browbeat a French steward, Pierre (Jacques Francois) into making love to her. The results provide some astounding surprises for the officers, Pierre, & certainly for Miss Reid. Finally, in ' The Gigolo & the Gigolette', beautiful daredevil Stella Cotman (Glynis Johns)
- whose job it is to entertain the jaded guests of a resort hotel by diving nightly from an eighty-foot platform into a flaming tank
- is losing her nerve.
