Lige and Estelle have been married three years and the novelty is wearing off. They are about to separate when Lige gets a telegram from the attorneys of his late uncle, saying that a representative is on the way, and if he finds Lige and Estelle happily married, Lige will inherit a huge fortune. Lige can't find Estelle and he gets Nita, the neighbor's wife, to be his temporary wife, and a midget from the circus to be their baby. Estelle has also gotten the telegram, so he gets neighbor Clem for her husband and, also, another circus midget as the baby. The attorney arrives and all concerned are together in the same room. Confusion follows.
