Upper-class scoundrel Basil Seal, mad, bad, and dangerous to know,
creates havoc wherever he goes, much to the despair of the three
women in his life-his sister, his mother, and his mistress. When
Neville Chamberlain declares war on Germany, it seems the perfect
opportunity for more action and adventure. So Basil follows the
call to arms and sets forth to enjoy his finest hour-as a war hero.
Basil's instincts for self-preservation come to the fore as he
insinuates himself into the Ministry of Information and a
little-known section of Military Security. With Europe frozen in
the "phoney war," when will Basil's big chance to fight finally
arrive?
