synopsis:
Bernard plans for a night in with his mistress, Suzanne, while his wife Jacqueline goes to visit her mother. Using his best friend, Robert, as part of his alibi, Bernard tells Jacqueline they are planning a bachelor’s night in. However, unbeknownst to Bernard, his wife Jacqueline is having an affair with his friend and decides to stay when she hears Robert is spending the night. Bernard and Robert must keep their story straight to fool Jacqueline, initially telling her that the soon-to-arrive Suzanne is Robert’s girlfriend. Things get complicated as Suzette, the cordon bleu chef Bernard hired to cook for his date night, is mistaken for Bernard’s girlfriend by Robert and becomes an integral part of their cover story. As the night goes on, the truth may come out to some degree, amidst the cover stories and mistaken identities.
