Synopsis

The Church in Botchington needs a new roof, but has no funds, so the bumbling committee of St Cedric's decide to organise a garden party and invite the leading morality campaigner and philanthropist, Lady Porchester, in the hope that she’ll make a sizeable donation to the roof fund. However. the Vicar's attempt to impress her with an announcement of his intended marriage backfires rather badly.

Love-rival’s handbags fly and the committee are at each other’s throats, prompting Lady Porchester to threaten a walk-out. The day is saved. though, when a startling revelation about her love life elicits a very large donation. The play ends with her in a highly-charged sexual state, thanks to her being mistakenly given a powerful aphrodisiac, as she chases a trouser-less Vicar out of the garden.
