Set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio just before Christmas, 1930. Sheridan Whiteside, having dined at the home of the Stanley’s, slips on their doorstep, breaking his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of confinement follow. The Stanley living room is monopolized by the irascible invalid; ex-convicts are invited to meals; and transatlantic calls! The arrival of strange gifts from his friends further destroys domestic tranquility. When Maggie, his secretary, falls in love with the reporter, Bert Jefferson, Whiteside summons a glamorous actress, Lorraine to help carry out a plan. Chaos ensues and the Stanley’s begin to wonder: will Whiteside ever be able to leave?!?
