Description Lane, a doctor, has a Brazilian maid who is bent on finding the perfect joke and does not want to clean. Maid Matilda feels dirty if she has not laughed for a while. She feels sad if she cleans. Enter Lane's sister, Virginia, whose motto is: 'If it were not for dust I think I would die.' Virginia and Matilda make a secret arrangement in which Virginia cleans and Matilda … works on her jokes. Complications arise when Lane's husband, a surgeon, leaves her for a beguiling masectomy patient.
