The boy (Hywel Bennett) has a skin even thinner than the walls of the bedroom, and as his loutmouthed father (John Mills) fusses with a chamber pot next door, he finds himself unable to consummate the marriage. When their honeymoon plans fall through, the couple stay on in the house, and Bennett remains incapacitated. "One doesn't miss what one's never had," the bride (Hayley Mills) assures him.
