A lighthearted 1960s comedy built on mistaken identity and romantic entanglement, where a good deed spirals into increasingly absurd complications.

To help his divorced neighbor claim a substantial inheritance, a family man poses as her husband. The ruse spills over into his career in advertising, and his recent promotion relies on his wholesome and moral appearance.
