A group of lodgers - Major Rayne, Nanette and Pinkie - staying at the home of Dame Beatrice, a formerly wealthy old lady, express boredom with their humdrum lives. A chance for some excitement comes when Lily, Dame Beatrice's beautiful, young housekeeper, one day gives in to temptation and lifts a brand new mink coat from their neighbours. She does this in a misguided attempt to thank Dame Bea by replacing a moth-eaten, and thoroughly worn-out old fur. Dame Bea is at first delighted, but upon learning how Lily came by the coat she, and her lodgers, spring into action with a plan to replace the coat without anyone knowing.
