Synopsis

Traveling salesman C. O. Darlington, millionaire C. O. Drudge, and college professor C. O. Dusenberry, take a "bachelor's" holiday, after having told their wives that they had to leave on business. After their train collides with another, the husbands, clad only in pajamas, are mistaken for escaped convicts by Farmer Jones, who puts them to work at gunpoint, while he notifies the police to collect a reward. When Jones learns their real identities, he and his three pretty daughters entertain them. Meanwhile, the three wives discover the ruse and travel to a country hotel, where they meet three lads who take them to dinner at the Jones's farm. The husbands hide, but after the meal, the wives's car breaks down in the rain, and Mrs. Jones lets them sleep in her daughters' rooms, which Jones had earlier rented to the husbands. The men, dressed in feminine robes and nightcaps, escape to the barn. Next morning, explanations are concocted before the couples return to the city.
