Leon Errol works at a department store. When a customer complains about the goods, he gets called into his manager's office and fire. He accepts it meekly, then tells a tale of woe that has the customers saying maybe they were at fault and pleased at being able to get Leon his job back. One afternoon, he ropes fellow clerk Rebel Randall into his tale as his wife and mother of their babies. The customer is so touched he insists the couple come to his beach house, sends for the babies. They're having a fine time with the harmless charade, when up turns the customer's wife's friend, Virginia Vale, who is Leon's wife!
It's a fine set-up for a comedy in which Leon is always trying to leave and never succeeding. Even better, Miss Randall and Miss Vale show themselves to be fine farceurs, with Miss Randall's blank-faced confusion at what is going on particularly funny.
