Synopsis

Beatrice Ridley suspects her new husband of infidelity because he continually receives letters from the notorious café, the Honeysuckle Inn. Beatrice consults lawyer John P. Widgast, who, with his partner Charley Pidgeon, specializes in "converting matrimony into alimony." The wives of the lawyers object to their husbands' practice, but plan a dinner for them at the Honeysuckle Inn. Widgast has promised to help Beatrice shadow her husband there, while Pidgeon has promised to give legal aid to the husband, who is foreclosing his silent partnership in the inn's management. The three couples all meet unexpectedly at the inn, which is raided that night. All six spend the night in jail, but everything is explained in court the next morning.
