When a jilted woman burgles her cheating husband's lover, she loses incriminating evidence to another on the same mission and must find a way to retrieve it before she falls victim to blackail. 

SYNOPSIS:

About to turn thirty, Phoebe wants ‘fulfilment’. Domineering husband Claude, a less than successful lawyer, insists she wait until his investment plans bear fruit. So, she sits at her computer and feigns to write the next blockbuster screenplay.

On discovering a diamond encrusted bracelet hidden in their en suite, and assuming it is meant for her, Phoebe is devastated when she realises it's meant for another – her philandering husband's secret lover, Pauline, in whose questionable business Claude has invested a small fortune.

With Claude out of town, Phoebe, in a rush of blood, sets out in the dark of night to 'reclaim' what she figures is rightfully hers. But her plans are thwarted by Bruce, Pauline’s jilted former lover, on the same mission in Pauline's house. In the mayhem that follows Pauline's unexpected arrival home, Phoebe takes possession of the bracelet, loses her car key to Bruce, makes good her escape, leaves Bruce to cope as best he can with his battered and unconscious former lover.

With her marriage kaput, Phoebe discovers a latent independence, and sets out to retrieve her potentially incriminating key from Bruce. A cat and mice escapade ensues involving Phoebe, Bruce, Pauline (and her 'brother/husband/partner in crime' David), and a duo from Santa Monica PD. Events culminate in an arrest atop the Big Pacific Wheel on the Santa Monica pier. The dirty deeds of Pauline and David are revealed, Claude is exposed for the dolt he is, and Bruce is back where he started with nothing – until Phoebe surprisingly offers him the bracelet for all his troubles.

After all, she now has all she needs – for her blockbuster screenplay. A farce, naturally.
