In the summer of 1947, Britain prepares to commemorate the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. To get around food-rationing laws, Dr. Charles Swaby, accountant Henry Allardyce and solicitor Frank Lockwood are fattening a black-market pig for the big day. Egged on by his wife, meek Gilbert Chilvers steals the swine, but the couple must conceal it from inspector Morris Wormold.
Sun-drenched English gardens and polite dinner parties provide a deceptive backdrop for this darkly absurd comedy of manners. Chaos erupts when a black-market pig becomes the centerpiece of an increasingly frantic and ridiculous social disaster.
