Title:
Strange Bedfellows
Synopsis:
In the small Australian town of Yackandandah, Vince owns the local movie theatre and several other businesses, and is having trouble paying his taxes because his ex-wife got everything.
The news of a new tax benefit for homosexual couples gives Vince an idea: he and best friend Ralph, a mechanic, can claim to be a couple and receive the benefits.
Two complications develop: because of a careless mail delivery person, the postmaster sees their application for benefits and tells one person, and soon the whole town knows. Also, the national government is sending an investigator to make sure the menâs relationship is legitimate.
Vince and Ralph take lessons in passing as gay from hairdresser Eric. They also visit Sydney and spend time at a gay club.
Russell, the investigator, shows up early, and so does Ralphâs daughter Carla, who wants to introduce Peta, her girlfriend. It turns out that while Ralph is not homosexual, Carla is. Ralph and Vince redecorate Ralphâs house and complete their interview, and they attend the local Firemanâs Ball.
Since Russell is there, Ralph and Vince have to continue their charade. Also, their friends from Sydneyâs gay club show up.
Ralph makes a big speech about how his relationship with Vince is no oneâs business, and that their friends from out of town are normal people despite how they look.
Carla is shocked by what her father has done, though Peta is pleased to learn about Ralph.
Russell tells the men he was not convinced in the interview, but he believes they are good people with a special relationship and should not be treated like criminals.
