Synopsis
The Montis and the Hawkins own identical apartments, one floor apart. One night Signor Monti comes home drunk and stumbles into the Hawkins' apartment, mistaking it for his own. Mrs. Hawkins is sound asleep and Mr. Hawkins is out of town when Monti climbs into bed. Toward morning, he is discovered by Mrs. Hawkins, but the maid has slipped in and taken his clothes. He cannot return to his own apartment wearing pajamas, so he is forced to hide when Hawkins unexpectedly returns. Meanwhile, Monti's wife has telephoned the police regarding her husband's absence and a detective has traced him to one of the apartments. Complications increase until both Hawkins and the signora conclude that he is in the apartment. The truth gradually comes out and both couples are relieved to have had twin beds.

Notes
Some sources spell Katherine Lewis' name as "Catherine." News items state that Arthur S. Kane, president of Arthur S. Kane Pictures Corp., was "affiliated" with the De Havens on this production but it is unclear what his exact contribution or involvement entailed. A remake of this film was produced by First National in 1929, directed by Alfred Santell and starring Jack Mulhall and Patsy Ruth Millere (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30; F2.5897). In 1934, Warner Bros.-First National made another version of the play in England called Life of the Party, which was directed by Ralph Dawson and starred Jerry Verno. United Artists released a third version in 1942, which starred George Brent and Joan Bennett and was directed by Tim Whelan.
