Bored with their spouses, Bob Hope and Lucille Ball consider an affair. They dance and dine in Acapulco then plan a getaway to a cabin in the mountains. They are eventually caught together by friends at the airport and decide to go back to their spouses. The star power of the two leads can't make up for the lack of on-screen chemistry or lack of funny jokes.
