Summary
Franklyn Fairchilds, a libidinous lounge-lizard whose walleyed wink passes for seduction, ambles into court trailing a comet-tail of lipstick affidavits. Every spurned chorus girl, hotel maid, and manicurist testifies with the gusto of a grand-jury aria, turning the divorce hearing into a burlesque auto-da-fé. Yet amid the cataract of accusations, one juror—an ivory-profiled stenographer whose glances ricochet between pity and erotic curiosity—throws a spanner in the legal gears. The wife’s feral radar picks up the pheromonal interference; in a heartbeat the gavel becomes Cupid’s croquet mallet. She yanks Franklyn off the witness stand, torpedoes the proceedings, and drags him home like a naughty toddler rescued from the cookie jar. Curtain falls on the world’s most uxious kidnapping: a marriage saved by the very spectacle designed to dissolve it.
Synopsis
Franklyn Fairchilds, a "ladies' man," is being sued by his wife for divorce. The trial is in progress and the cross-eyed Romeo, as usual, is getting the worst of it from every witness. However, one fair witness favors the gay Lothario, and immediately the wife's jealousy is aroused, she takes him home with her and drops the case.
