Vivien and Theo spice up their sex life with role playing. He becomes the notorious British killer Dr. Crippen by donning a suit and glasses, while she becomes his compliant wife or mistress. When not in their roles, they bicker and argue constantly. One day a German woman walks into his furniture store. She proclaims he looks exactly like German WWI flying ace Baron von Richthofen. She forces her way into their lives by renting a spare bedroom and taking photographs of their role playing. When she convinces Theo to take on a new role, that of the flying ace, things start to crumble. The acting is top notch, particularly Glenda Jackson as Vivien, and the characters, while unsympathetic, are not uninteresting.
