Peter's wife Alice is forced to deal with the matter on her own and she retains the services of freelance professional hostage negotiator Terry Thorne.

The wild and wanton Francisca, known as "The Tigress," is the eldest of three sisters, who are bosses of a farm in Ecuador. A medicine man tells Francisca and Juliana that their youngest sister Sara must remain a virgin to protect their land. A travelling salesman, engaged to Sara, tells the police that she is being kept locked up by her older sisters.

This belly-laugh funny theatrical hit spawned a genre of racy comedies revolving around "The Seven Year Itch." As several wacky bumblers find out, the "itching" can be true love, the "scratchin" a whole lot of fun, but what happens when the inevitable embarrassing situations ensue is pure hilarity.
