Another couple also seems to have domestic troubles and the other hubby gets a room on the same side of the corridor as the newly married fellow.

Tiring of the pastime, the detective orders the hubbies to leave, one at a time. They get back into the hotel, secretly, landing in the wrong rooms. Wifies and hubbies then accuse each other until the detective enters. After a long chase, they lay the detective low and prove that they are married by their marriage licenses.
