The Chiltern Hundreds

The film follows Young Viscount Tony Pym, who manipulates National Service leave under the guise of running as a Tory candidate for his family's long-held seat. However, his real intention is to marry his wealthy American fiancée before she leaves England. The plan takes an unexpected turn as Pym is swept into a political campaign and ultimately defeated by Labour's Mr. Cleghorn, who subsequently becomes a peer.

Faced with embarrassment, Pym attempts to regain his dignity by switching his political allegiance and running as a socialist. This shift leads to comedic situations and challenges, especially for his loyal butler, Mr. Beecham, who struggles to adapt to the changing political landscape. With a runtime of 84 minutes, the film combines themes of socialism, conservatism, and the quirks of the British landed gentry, making it an interesting watch for fans of political comedies.
