Vera Caspary, famed author of the noir thriller Laura, displays a much more lighthearted style in this raucous mid-century story of a frantic chase of forbidden fruit which was also made into an MGM film starring Bob Hope and Lana Turner.

Paradise-wise, Adam J. Niles, the self-styled author--sociologist, had it made.

His publisher's expense account took him to Europe and covered the small necessities of life--small splits of champagne, small caviar eggs and--women.

Now, after years of "observing" the European scene, our man-of-the-world was coming home to look over the back fence of Suburbia, U.S.A.

Suburbia--where from nine-to-five women are left alone and defenseless, and Adam would be a bachelor in paradise.
