Kingfish deals with his fellow lodge brothers complaining about his shoddy handling of the lodge's paperwork, and inform him they've contacted an employment agency to send him a secretary-someone to help him catch up, a temporary position expected to last about a month.
Kingfish, remembering Sapphire going nuts the last time he had a pretty secretary working for him, figures, on seeing a pretty woman the agency sent over, that he'd be smart to not let his wife even know about her. He hires her for $25 a week. He phones Sapphire to tell her he has to work late to catch up on paperwork.
Sapphire then figures to go to the movies with her mother at the Bijou. Back at the lodge, we see Kingfish and the secretary busy working as late as 10:30, and now George wants to walk her home to make sure nothing bad happens. She tells him she lives in an apartment right next to the Bijou Theater. I guess we all know what's going to happen here.
As George and the new secretary come walking past the theater, Mama and Sapphire are just leaving the theater. There is a short confrontation and the secretary heads home alone. As Sapphire and Mama start berating George, all of the other theater goers gather around, some still munching popcorn, and take a great interest. Some of them get to arguing about whether or not it's proper for a man to have a secretary, and the bits with these others are among the highlights of this episode.
Sapphire, angry George won't fire the secretary, takes a secretarial position herself, working for a writer who is about to get married-to his old secretary.
George winds up staying with Andy for two weeks before he can patch things up with Sapphire. Andy is glad when he leaves because he hates having to wear a stocking cap every night to bed because George wants him to remind him of his wife.
George decides to confront Sapphire's boss, but winds up overhearing a phone conversation with his fiancée/former secretary and winds up believing he's talking to Sapphire about getting married that very day. This leads to a wild scene at the church where George rushes in to reclaim his beloved wife.
The misunderstandings here are mostly logical and they were most amusing. Again I like episodes where George is not only honorable, but truthful, and this is one of those. You can even understand Sapphire's distrust because the movie she saw with Mama was all about a secretary carrying on with her boss. I give this one a 9-lots of laughs to me.
