After suffering years of nagging, a chemist divorces his garrulous wife.

Seeking peace and quiet, Tony retreats into a lonely research institute with two other bachelors, Prendergast and Fotheringham.

However, romance blossoms with the arrival of Gay, a dumb struck sea evacuee; but how long will the peace last?
