Frensic and Futtle, a small and successful literary agency, rapidly loses business in the wake of a successful libel case. Then...a manuscript called Pause O Men For The Virgin arrives at the agency, together with a note from the author's solicitor, saying that the author wishes to remain anonymous and that the agency has carte blanche on how it deals with the book, which is the tale of a love affair between an 80-year-old woman and a 17-year-old youth. The populist American publisher Hutchmeyer agrees to sign a deal to publish the book in the United States for $2 million, providing the author carries out a promotional tour of the country. Frensic and Futtle decide to use aspiring but unpublished author Peter Piper to stand in for the anonymous author. But when Piper receives a proof copy of Pause from the publisher by mistake, it takes a certain amount of persuasion and arm-twisting to convince Piper to travel to America. An innocent abroad in the States, Piper is the unwitting cause of confusion upon confusion and disaster upon disaster.
