The film uproariously describes a matrimonial complication into which Lynn obtrudes with his customary eagerness and excellent intentions.

It all ends happily, the end of the Alm being more than ludicrously ridiculous in the Ralph Lyun sense. The famous comedian is supported by a fine cant, which in- cludes James Carew, Jeanne Stuart.
