Zelma and Lige are country sweethearts and plan to elope to outwit Zelma's father, the hot tempered Otto. They elude the watchful parent and make for the Honeymooner's Hotel in the big city. Otto wakes up and finds that his daughter has gone and swears to kill the man who married her. He get his shotgun and starts for the city. In the hotel, Lige and Zelma are having an embarrassing time. Lige loses Zelma and chases her up and down the stairs while she rides the elevator looking for him. Finally, Lige lands in the lap of Estelle, a beautiful bride whose husband, Eddie, is dangerously jealous. Lige apologizes but Eddie is till suspicious. Lige and Zelma are in their rooms when the father arrives, but when he comes into the room, Estelle is there with Lige and he tells Otto that Estelle is his wife. Then Eddie comes in looking for his bride and Estelle hides while Zelma comes out in the open, but gets back again just in time to elude her irate parent. In the hallway, Estelle turns an ankle and faints in Lige's arms -and Otto makes an appearance. Lige hands her to Otto-and then Eddie comes out, furiously jealous. Otto takes a swing at Eddie, knocks him into an air shaft and then races to the ground floor and catches him before he lands. Mix-up after mix-up follows with the husband and wives getting more mixed up, and with father, husbands, hotel detectives and drunks getting more tangled every minute. Finally, Lige and ZeIma get on an elevator in an effort to escape, and a drunk gets the control handle running them through the roof and down again to the cellar. Just before they pass out, the drunk gives them his blessing.—Press Sheet from Library of Congress
