Richard Ciddle suspects his wife Clara of having an affair (as he himself is); when she admits it, he offers a divorce on the condition that he first meets her lover. Since she is not in fact having an affair, she invents one by kissing a stranger at London Airport, believing him to be about to fly out and therefore eligible for a mild deception. Not only is the man not leaving, he is subsequently hit by Richard's car, and the plan begins to unravel.

1 It's the Geography That Counts Raymond Bowers , 1957 single work drama

Marshall Arnitt, a racing-car driver, is spending the weekend with his mother in the south of England, when his foster brother takes out his car and hits a cyclist on the Scottish border.

'Clostin is not a pleasant man to have dealings with. He is agreeable enough to meet for he has charm and an easy manner. But he is in all things an opportunist, a schemer. He married for money, calculatingly, and for all his casual airs there is something calculating about everything he does. From the very beginning of tonight's play Clostin is planning something. For much of the time he is improvising, feeling his way, trying cleverly to find out what his wife Anne has in mind, where Peebles fits in, what Hurst has learnt from the others. And if this shrouds the play in mystery that is as it should be, for it is a play of detection, a subtle account of a battle of wits.'
