Storyline

Our hero and his young wife live hand-to-mouth because he has to pay his ex-wife $30 per week in alimony. He gets the bright idea to invite her to come live with them, so he won't have to pay. Elsie arrives, her boyfriend Radcliff in tow, and they proceed to take over the flat. After a horrid dinner, a sleepless night, and an awful morning, our hero's wife is ready to become ex-wife number two. He'd better think of a solution quick. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>
