Years after she was presumed dead in a shipwreck, Ellen Arden returns home to the surprise of her husband recently remarrying. But he too gets a shock when he learns that Ellen spent her time alone on an island with another man.
Sparkling screwball energy turns a messy marital predicament into a whirlwind of witty repartee and frantic misunderstandings. This delightful comedy thrives on the chaotic friction between a rekindled flame and a newlywed life.
