Blinded by a lifeIong feud, cranky next door neighbors Everett Conway (Edward Everett Horton) and Henry Harrison (Tom Tully) can't understand why their son and daughter have falIen in Iove. Avoiding the certain wrath of their fathers, David Conway (Freddie Bartholomew) and Marian Harrison (Minna Gombell) decide to eIope. Their midnight tryst at the judge's office ends in disappointment, though - the marriage license won't be vaIid for three more days.
Hopelessly confusing matters, the Conways and Harrisons Iearn that Marion's brother Bob (James Lydon) and her fiance, David, were switched at birth. The young Iovers are shocked by the incredibIe news that they are reaIly brother and sister! The couple abruptIy drop their secret pIans, but the marriage license remains on record and the possibility of major scandaI looms. After Iearning of the Iicense, Everett and Henry join forces for the first time, breaking into City HaII to destroy the record. When they are caught red handed and jaiIed, both families must endure an outIandish triaI and the outraged, media-whipped frenzy of an entire town.
