Synopsis
When Ferris reluctantly agreed to look after his sister's seedy country inn while she's on vacation, he did not anticipate all the wild comings-and-goings involving her affairs!
Over the course of his house-sitting, Ferris becomes engulfed in lies, confusions, and bewilderments as he tries to prevent the inevitable meetings of husbands, wives, and lovers in assorted compromising situations.
