High-society matron Victoria discovers that her wealthy husband Bradley is maintaining an illicit affair with ambitious social climber Jessica. When the pregnant paramour arrives at the estate to mark her territory, she hilariously misidentifies Victoria as Bradley's dignified mother. Seizing the golden opportunity, Victoria plays along rather than erupting in anger.
Victoria invents rigorous aristocratic etiquette tests to run the impudent interloper through grueling social trials, quietly extracting incriminating financial records all the while. As wedding preparations begin under her watchful eye, Victoria orchestrates a catastrophic public reckoning designed to strip her philandering partner of every cent before the city elite.
