Synopsis

Believing that his wife Clementia has gone to visit her mother overnight, Fitzhew goes to the notorious Cleopatra Club in hopes of having a night of fun with a friend. Clementia knows about his plans, however, and instead of going to her mother's, goes to the club, accompanied by her sister Sally's fiancé. She does not meet Fitzhew, but is instead arrested while her husband becomes involved in a fight and is sentenced to thirty days in jail. Fitzhew is allowed to go home to pack, accompanied by a guard, and explains to Clementia that the guard is really is his secretary who will come with him on a thirty-day trip to Mexico. While distributing flowers in prison, Clementia is recognized by inmate Louis, a waiter at the Cleopatra Club, but she does not meet her husband. After thirty days, Fitzhew returns home wearing Mexico attire and speaking Spanish. Although suspicious, Clementia fails to find out the true nature of his "trip."
