This fast-paced 17th century sex comedy has been given a contemporary sensibility. The plot centers around three ludicrous husbands, each of whom lay claim to the most effective method of securing his wife's fidelity. The first relies on innocence, the second on wit, and the third on piety. Leave it to the lusty young bachelors and the winsome wives to thwart the scheme. Not suitable for children.
