David Smith (Robert Montgomery) expresses his unhappiness in his marriage to his wife Ann (Carole Lombard), who discovers that they aren't technically married due to a legal mix-up. The bickering couple tries to figure out if their marriage is worth it, while shenanigans naturally ensue. It's one of the few times that Hitchcock directed a pure comedy, and this time, it does not quite land, primarily due to the thinness of the premise. However, Montgomery and Lombard are both extremely capable comedic actors and help elevate the material quite a bit.
