Summary
This satirical farce revolves around a bored housewife, Louise Maske, who unintentionally loses her underpants while watching a royal parade. The resulting comedy of errors involves her rude husband Theo and two male witnesses to the event who rent a single room near the Maskes in order to get closer to Louise. The cruelly neglected Louise is suddenly a star. Her buried desires are awakened. Things rapidly get out of hand.
