Shy loser Henry Palfrey (Ian Carmichael) is in love with April Smith (Janette Scott), but she's dating the suave Raymond Delauney (Terry-Thomas), so he enrolls in unconventional education classes to up his game.

When her wealth fails to bring her happiness, Epifania sets her sights on a husband: Indian doctor Ahmed el Kabir (Peter Sellers). Ahmed shows no interest in marrying her, but she gets him to agree to a three-month challenge: She'll attempt to live on only 500 rupees, while he must turn 500 pounds into 15,000.

This lighthearted comedy shows us how Henry Palfrey changes from a young man with a giant inferiority complex into a confident, assured man-of-the-world after a course at the College of Lifemanship on 'how to win without actually cheating'. Sweet is the moment when he takes his revenge on all who cheated and duped him and steals the beautiful April from the arms of his cocksure rival.
