Synopsis
In a prolog, Adam and Eve live in a primitive apartment. Adam, with his morning paper (a stone slab with the latest news engraved on it), has to rush to catch the morning commuter train (a cart with strap hangers pulled by a dinosaur), while Eve, though she has an extensive wardrobe, declares she has "nothing to wear" and prates about a sale on "fig leaves," causing the serpent to tempt her. In modern New York, Adam is a plumber struggling for an existence, and Eve, discontented with her lot, longs for luxury. An automobile accident brings her to the attention of a Fifth Avenue shop, where she is engaged as a model under the egis of Josef André. The serpent emerges as a blonde seductress living across the hallway from the couple, and when Adam encounters his wife modeling, comic complications arise; eventually Eve spurns the advances of André and is reconciled with Adam.
