Small town banker and his wife Claudette Colbert plan a second honeymoon in New York City. Before they leave, his old college buddy Don Ameche unexpectedly shows up in a dilemma: he has told his newspaper bosses in New York that he is married to Colbert. Never one to let down his buddy, he agrees to let Colbert pretent to be Ameche' wife for awhile. However, they all get separated at the train station and Colbert and Ameche travel to New York alone. This sets in motion a series of comedy situations for the "couple", who end up on the front page. The charade goes on far too long, and Colbert decided to teach her husband a lesson and pretend to fall in love with Ameche. Zippy screwball comedy with likeable performances all around.
