Happily married for over a decade to charming Dad's Army actor John Le Mesurier, Hattie is at the height of her popularity when she is seduced by her handsome young driver, John Schofield.
While filming Carry On Cabby, she begins a clandestine affair with the younger man. Despite the danger of a career-threatening scandal, when the film ends she can't bring herself to end the affair.
Ironically, Hattie can conceal her secret relationship more successfully by moving Schofield into the family home, when the attic room becomes vacant.
An eccentric love triangle begins, as the two Johns find themselves trading roles of husband and lodger. Hattie uses all her charm and ingenuity to navigate the escalating family tensions and threats of public exposure but, ultimately, she must make a heartbreaking decision – which will risk leaving her quite alone.
Hattie is a bittersweet true-life drama about a very English love triangle and a celebration of an extraordinary icon of UK comedy.
