Synopsis

Silva Ring is a world-famous singer with a severe hang-up about her age.

When a Swedish interviewer produces her true birth certificate, she resorts to increasingly desperate measures to prove him wrong.

With help from her long-term housekeeper, Dolores, Silva pretends to be her own sister, Iris, a tough lady who can make tough decisions.

Silva's lover, a footballer, her agent, and Dolores all suffer from the iron rule of Iris.

Lola Wales, an old singer, is brought in to be an aunt, and a petty forger is persuaded to attempt to destroy Silva's files at the Family Record Center.

After a wild climax during which Silva scores a goal at Wembley Stadium, she can no longer juggle all her lies and subterfuges, and she escapes by having a bogus nervous breakdown.

A victim of fame and wealth, she wins in the end and emerges stronger than ever.
