A Flea in Her Ear is a farce-comedy following the pattern based on deception. It is a comedy of situation involving marriage and deception.
For example, a wife feels betrayed when she surreptitiously opens her husband’s mail to find a strange pair of suspenders, whereupon she convinces her friend to fabricate a letter from a supposed admirer of her husband, Victor Emmanuel, requesting a rendezvous with him at a
hotel.
Then there is the massive confusion between the identities of Poppo and Victor Emmanuel at the hotel, both parts played by the same actor, and the subsequent flood of accusations and charges leveled by the various parties during one hilarious chase scene after the other!

The third one is the hotel owner, Subaru, saying that the "Bellboy jumped out of the window and landed on my head. I have no explanation but he was wearing this 'Croatian' shawl." Cheri says that the Croatian shawl
"...belonged to her husband." |
