Synopsis
While his wife Helen is away visiting her mother, Frank Perry is nearly arrested when he accidentally enters the wrong house after a night of drinking at his New York club. When Helen returns, Frank tries to pretend that the incident was an initiation rite of the Masons, a society to which his wife has always wanted him to belong. When Helen comes home, she is accompanied by her father who also has pretended to be a Mason for years. Each man acts out supposedly secret Masonic rituals while the other imitates him. After a variety of misadventures, including blackmail, Frank is allowed to join the Masons by Bob Trevors, a real member who wants to marry Helen's sister Nora.
