Synopsis

Griffiths a crafty undertaker in a small Welsh town hides £150 that he has kept from his wife in the lining girdle. Unknown to him she is about to elope with Evans the local milkman. Shortly before she does, she sells the girdle and buys a new one. The old one is sold on to newlywed Mary Rees who leaves for her honeymoon in London. This results in a frantic effort to recover it both by Griffiths, still after the stashed money, and Evans who wants to clear his name of accusations of theft.
