William Powell and Myrna Loy, who made over a dozen films together (six as the "Thin Man" characters Nick and Nora Charles), are romantically teamed again in this breakneck farce. This time, they're a happily married couple about to celebrate their fourth wedding anniversary. Unfortunately,
their domestic tranquility is shattered when Loy's battleaxe mother (Bates) arrives for a visit, sprains an ankle, and extends her stay a lot longer than had been anticipated. Mother dearest soon misconstrues a conversation between her son-in-law and an old flame (Patrick), the perfect wife wants
a divorce, and hubby must do anything he can--from pretending to be insane to dress...
