A simple
enough plot…
Weeks before a presidential election,
Senator Henry Douglas, a smooth-talking candidate who has based his entire
campaign on the issues of morality and family values is given an unusual
opportunity. Arranging for his wife, Lois, to be away for the weekend, he
realizes that with a little luck he may be able to break every one of his
campaign promises before the votes are even counted. Once his wife is safely on
her way to the airport, he invites his voluptuous secretary, Veronica, to spend
the night in his Washington D.C. townhouse. To his abject disappointment, she is
unavailable. He then contacts the Capitol Escort Agency, and arranges for an
“escort” for the evening.
But, this is a farce...
Unfortunately, his neighbor, an elderly
congressman, Clyde Salt, locks himself out of his townhouse and has to spend the
night. Harry solves the problem of Congressman Salt, by slipping large
quantities of sleeping powders into his brandy. He will be sound asleep all
night.
What else could go
wrong?
-Jack Maguire, his nephew and a
young first-term congressman, arrives to discuss Harry’s presidential Campaign.
He drinks the brandy intended for Salt.
-Fiona, the “escort” girl, arrives and
mistakenly assumes that Maguire is her client, and he, in a drug-induced state,
is unable to resist her advances.
-Veronica changes her mind and arrives
ready for a romantic evening.
-A reporter, from the National Intruder,
Betty Morrison, having heard the rumor that the Senator’s Office staff is known
as “Harry’s Harem” arrives with her camera to investigate.
