In the prologue Claudette Colbert is bound and gagged in a closet, but a second later appears in a wedding dress. The last scenes finally reveal that both of the original fiancés have identical twins. Both twins, trying to steal their sibling's intended, inadvertently married each other instead. The couple remain married from 1937 until 1942, when this story begins.
