Angered, Janet sends him a photo of the elaborate and elegant mansion next to her house, implying that is actually her home. Ernest replies that he and his new wife want to stop by for a visit on their honeymoon. Janet finds out that the mansion's owners are out of town and arranges with the estate's caretakers to use the mansion while Ernest and his wife come to town. Her charade comes off so well that Ernest begins to regret leaving Janet and makes a pass for her. To complicate matters, the mansion's real owner unexpectedly returns home early. Complications ensue.
