A friend (Charles Ruggles) tries to help Young out by saying that he is married. Young is therefore forced to dig up a girl (Lily Damita) to pose as his wife. Both couples and the friend set off for Venice where, as anticipated, Young and Lily Damita are last seen drifting inseparably in a gondola. Even better than the idea of proving that Lubitsch...
