Ostensibly, a moral tale, about a man being released from prison, after a long spell for fraud, returning to his family, this has a subversive streak of comedy running through it. Rendell’s family pretends he is his brother, recently returned from South America, to avoid scandal, even lying to his youngest daughter who doesn’t remember him. Son Mason hasn’t learned anything from dad’s past and is deeply mixed up in his own criminal enterprise. Rendell is very droll, but Scaife steals every scene she’s is in, as a saucy, comely maid.
