After an uneventful couple’s dinner, neighbors separate along gender lines, with Emily and Mary enjoying a spot of tea, while the men shuffle off to the lounge for brandy and cigars.

Ever so nosy, the girls gossip and laugh about their mysterious new neighbor. They have seen strange lights and heard weird noises coming from her house but had yet to meet the woman who lived alone. Unexpectedly the neighbor drops in to introduce herself as Natasha Vladimarnova. She joins in the chatter with risqué humor and amuses the ladies to no avail.

As her dark nature remains hidden, she finds an opportune moment to spike the ladies tea with an evil compound.

It is obviously working when the girls pass out. Meanwhile, the men have no idea that their lives are about to change as Natasha sneaks more of the same magic elixir into their libations.

Just a short while later, the men stir from their unexpected sleep. Finding their wardrobe and atmosphere slightly askew. “What’s this? Where did my brandy go? Tea? Wait, where’s my cigar?” is the conversation exchanged back and forth.

The ladies also have been revived. Now alert and perkier than ever, they are also aware of their new surroundings. Mary laughs while Emily happily smokes a cigar.

Happily surprised at the exchange, the women vow to invite Natasha back for tea.
