"This latest edition of a play named for an aircraft soars right out of its time zone and into some unpolluted stratosphere of classic physical comedy. Propelled by the same gusty spirit that animated Commedia dell'Arte and the silent films of Keaton, Chaplin and Lloyd, it may be earthy, but it's seldom earthbound" ~ The New York Times
Parisian Lothario has a French, a German and an American fiancee, each a beautiful airline hostess with a two day layover in Paris
He keeps "one up, one down and one pending" and has the seventh day to rest
Until schedule changes bring all three to Paris and their intended's apartment at the same time ...
