Description Stanley and Brenda Parker are on a driving holiday in France. They happen upon Hotel Heinz, a shabby hotel in a village near the German border, after finding all other hotels booked, due to it being the Festival of Saint Wolfgang. The couple are booked into the last available room by expatriate German hotel manager, Heinz. They soon discover that the same room has unfortunately been double-booked by the elderly Slavic head porter, Karak, to biscuit salesman Claude – who has arranged a rendezvous with Simone, a French cabaret dancer. The matter is further complicated when Claude's wife, Helga, also arrives. Seductions and confrontations ensue, and those involved go to painful lengths to cover their tracks, fearing discovery and the ire of their spouses.
