BIinded by a lifelong feud, cranky next door neighbors Everett Conway (Edward Everett Horton) and Henry Harrison (Tom Tully) can't understand why their son and daughter have fallen in Iove. Avoiding the certain wrath of their fathers, David Conway (Freddie Bartholomew) and Marian Harrison (Minna GombelI) 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.
HopeIessly 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 incredible news that they are realIy brother and sister! The coupIe abruptIy drop their secret plans, but the marriage Iicense remains on record and the possibiIity of major scandal Iooms. After learning of the license, Everett and Henry join forces for the first time, breaking into City Hall to destroy the record. When they are caught red handed and jailed, both famiIies must endure an outlandish trial and the outraged, media-whipped frenzy of an entire town.
