A very old woman wants to have dinner with her friends. As they are all dead, the butler has to play the role of every guest.
A two-person sketch in black and white that lives almost entirely on its ritual: the same routine, the same lines, the same stumbles. The comedy comes from repetition and physical timing rather than plot. It is short enough never to wear thin, which is why it stuck around as a New Year's Eve tradition.
Good for you if you like slapstick, running gags and short, ritual-like comedy.
