Nelson Eddy and Rise Stevens are married singers who constantly bicker, on and off stage. Eddy comes up with a plan to test her loyalty by disguising himself as a Russian opera star and pursuing her. Eddy is simply ridiculous as the stereotyped Russian. Although it is played for laughs it comes off as silly rather than funny. Rise's constant side glances and smug laughter don't help matters.
