A dead husband walks into a bar—except he's not dead, just terrible at marriage.
A young married couple vacations on their honeymoon when the husband falls in love with a sensual girl who is celebrating her bachelorette party and is about to marry a dangerous man. Unfaithful lovers agree to elope with their partners and abandon them forever. The humiliation of the abandoned girl is so great that when she returns to the city to not look bad, she invents that her husband drowned in the sea. This lie causes hilarious complications when the dead man shows up.
