Synopsis
Philip gives a small party for his fiancee Celia and a few friends.
Afterwards Celia leaves with the others, while another young lady offers to help wash up, later revealing more intimate intentions.
Celia discovers what happened and breaks things off, revealing that she spent the night of the party with another man.
