The Chiltern Hundreds

Tony Pym, a young viscount, uses a sham Tory candidacy for his family's long-held seat as an excuse to get National Service leave and marry his wealthy American fiancee while she is still in England. The plan backfires when he is drawn into the campaign and defeated by Labour's Mr Cleghorn, who is then made a peer. To save face, Pym stands again as a socialist, which proves too much for the family's loyal butler, Mr Beecham.
