At a fashionable wedding, the groom is nervous and Billy, the best man, is late. He arrives, tar on the soles of his shoes, messes up the carpet, gets tar on his fingers, tries to straighten the groom's tie, and loses the ring, which gets stuck on the heel of a female guest's shoe. At the reception, Billy causes more bedlam, bringing castor oil to the groom and starting a fire in the bridal bedchamber. Billy finds every disaster funny. The next morning, he volunteers to drive to the station--a newlywed couple who aren't speaking to each other. Billy gets a flat tire, stops on trolley tracks, and upends a policeman who tries to help. Can this marriage be saved?
