John Smith stands to inherit two million dollars from his eccentric aunt — but only if he divorces his wife Lucille. Desperate for the money, John concocts an elaborate scheme to stage a fake adultery scandal that will give Lucille grounds for divorce. But the plan goes comically awry when a hotel mix-up, a jealous dentist, and a series of mistaken identities turn the attempted divorce into a farcical love triangle.
