Summary

Walter Ellis undoubtedly has the knack of producing farce that is more than comedy. His chief character is a financier, George Warburton, who takes the precaution of keeping his wealth in his wife's name, but lacks the same sense of security in his social habits.

When George is involved in a motor accident while driving with the glamorous film star, Clare Boy, and finds that he and a woman novelist, mistaken for husband and wife, and both unconscious, have spent the night in a country roadhouse. the entanglements begin.

George's wife is soon on the trail, and one of his clients also sees an opportunity to "square up"' some financial deals. The woman novelist and the film star get poor George into a black position before he finally wins the return of his wife's affection with a feigned attack of insanity.
