  After a quarrel at their 25th wedding anniversary, Joe and Aggie Bruno decide to divorce each other, and both leave for Reno. So do their daughters Prudence and Pansy, but they want to get their parents back together. Joe and Aggie, accidentally, are becoming clients at the same law firm, Wattles and Swift, which is the biggest and most successful in town. But being on the opposite sides in the same case is not the only problem for Wattles and Swift, the occurring law firm Jackson, Jackson, Jackson and Jackson, has started a price war and one of its members has just been appointed judge, furthermore, there's Ace Crosby, whose ex-wife got her divorce with the help of Wattles and Swift, who vowed to shoot Wattles for this. Wattles disguises as widow Hanover, Joe's co-respondent. Crosby, waiting at the office-turned-casino, wins too much at the poker table, so Wattles tries to lure him away, after he and Joe have been seen by Aggie. Aggie, who has met Judge Jackson, who told her that she and her husband are clients at the same law firm, switches to Jackson, Jackson, Jackson and Jackson, after Wattles disguise fails. So does Crosby's attempt to murder him. The Bruno daughters meanwhile have fallen in love with the lawyers, and now they are trying to prevent the divorce. In a crazy court session they try all their tricks.
