Plot Summary
Charley, his new bride, Barbara, and his mother-in-law attend a cabaret show. Charley’s playboy friend, Billy, is also at the club and invites him onto his yacht with two of the cabaret entertainers, but Charley already has plans to go to Catalina with his family. When Charley arrives at the dock, he mistakenly gets aboard Billy’s yacht. Charley’s wife and mother-in-law search for him on the yacht, and he tries to hide from them: he dons blackface and pretends to be the cook.
