War draftee John Beal and his bride Wanda McKay check into a New York hotel for one quick night of marital bliss before he heads off to fight the Japanese but end up with so much more thanks to an alleged corpse Beal finds in their bed. This results in an adventure as they deal with kidnappers, idiotic house detectives (Warren Hymer once again) and a night in the Big Apple they'll never forget. Comedy, intrigue, action and brilliant character bits make this tons of fun, as put together by the quick filming William Beaudine, "King of the One Take".
Among the amusing sequences are the couple's winning the big prize in a movie theater raffle while they are trying to remain hidden from the villains (very obviously present), Beal's come-on by their moll Barbara Pepper (the original "Mrs. Ziffel") and McKay's sudden heroic attack on the villains. You can see many future similar plots in this, particularly in the two higher budgeted plots of the "Fuller Brush" movies. Future film noir heavy Tom Neal ("Detour") is prominently featured as the main villain.
