Ce 14 x 36 24 SHEET The Story (Not for Publication) Stanley Ford (JACK LEMMON) a bachelor, is the creator of the enormously successful comic strip Bash Brannigan, a “secret agent.” In order to get realism into his strip Stanley always acts out his “plots” first with live actors. Stanley’s guardian against designing women (and there are many in his life) is his valethandyman Charles (TERRY-THOMAS). While attending a celebration in honor of a broken engagement on the part of one of his friends, Stanley comes into possession of the engagement ring. Later, as a surprise, a scantily-clad Venus emerges from a giant cake at the party. She is gorgeous! It turns out to be quite a party and when Stanley awakens the next morning he finds the Venus (VIRNA LISI) in bed with him! And she has the ring on her finger! They are married! It also turns out that she is a stranded Italian beauty, the unsuccessful candidate in a world-wide beauty contest. Now, how to get rid of her? Stanley’s lawyer, Harold Lampson (EDDIE MAYEHOFF) tells him divorce is impossible. Moreover, he is in favor of the marriage. So is his wife, Edna (CLAIRE TREVOR). Now Stanley and Charles begin to work out a plot for getting rid of the new Mrs. Ford. It is about as insane a plot as has ever appeared on a screen. It involves the “rehearsal” of the crime by live talent, and it’s so good that Stanley incorporates it in his Brannigan strip. Mrs. Ford learns of it all and leaves, broken-hearted. A search is instituted for her. Some workmen, who have seen the strip and had also seen Stanley's “rehearsal” of the crime, report their suspicion to the police. There is an investigation. It looks pretty dour for Stanley. But now Stanley discovers that he’s really in love with his wife. But he has little time to contemplate this. He is charged with the murder of the missing woman and brought to trial. There follows one of the wackiest trials in courtroom history, with Judge Blackstone (SIDNEY BLACKMER) presiding. The verdict? Well, for the purpose of maintaining suspense, it must remain “sealed” here. Suffice it to say that Stanley remains “sealed” too.
