The Right Sort of Man

In the aftermath of World War II in London, two women with contrasting personalities come together to establish a business in Mayfair known as The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. Miss Iris Sparks, sharp-witted and impulsive, teams up with Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, pragmatic and recently widowed with a young son, to pursue independence and make a positive impact in a rapidly changing society.

Despite a promising beginning, their endeavor faces a setback when their latest client is found murdered, and the man accused of the crime happens to be the potential husband they had matched her with. While the authorities are convinced they have the culprit, Miss Sparks and Mrs. Bainbridge disagree. In an effort to exonerate the accused - and salvage the credibility of their fledgling business - Sparks and Bainbridge take matters into their own hands and launch their own investigation. Little do they realize that this decision will jeopardize their own lives.
