Alberto Foster, another patient, pretends to be insane in order to avoid the wrath of his former mistress' husband, who has vowed to kill him as soon as Alberto is well enough to be a worthy opponent. Alberto meets Norma and invites her for drinks on his parked airplane, as alcohol is not permitted on the sanitarium grounds. Dr. Nutts learns of Alberto's flirtations and tells Norma that the clinic is filled with spies looking for people who are not really insane. Fearing that Alberto may be a spy, Norma behaves like a lunatic for him, but he is more charmed than ever by her madcap behavior and sneaks her out of the sanitarium for an evening on the town. The couple go to a cabaret in New York, and when Nutts discovers their absence, he pursues them with Harry, a sanitarium attendant and friend of Alberto.

The cabaret owner, who wants restitution for his ruined business, Dr. Nutts, Norma's uncle, Harry and Hugo await the verdict, and when they begin to argue, the alienists accidentally change the channel and observe the group, whom they diagnose as furiously mad. The cabaret owner, Norma's uncle, and Hugo are then all committed. Later, Norma and Alberto, in a peaceful sanitarium-like setting, sing with their brood of lovely children about the sanity of insanity in a world filled with war and fascism.
