This wildly funny romp opens when the battling Warriners, Jerry and Lucy, file for divorce. The only hitch seems to be who will get custody of their beloved fox terrier, "Mr. Smith" (Asta of "The Thin Man"). Between the interlocutory and the final decree, however, Jerry decides he wants Lucy back. Unfortunately, she's now being courted by an arden new suitor from Oklahoma, Daniel Leeson.
