Unexpected Guests
by Jordan Crittenden
Synopsis
Harry Mullin comes home to find his wife has left with a door to door cello salesman.
If he thinks he'll suffer his misery in solitude, he's very mistaken.
Within minutes, he has many unexpected guests: a house breaking voyeur disguised as a policeman, hapless Harry's parents, his ex scoutmaster, an excessively who is enamored of the departed Melissa, a cheerful neighbor, and finally his collegiate son's girl friend.
When Melissa returns from her escapade because the salesman has decided he'd rather be a priest, reconciliation is not the result!
Melissa and the voyeur fall in love Harry steals his son's girl friend.
