Storyline

Jimmy is a reformer and in court saves his neighbor, Tyler, accused of flirting, from jail by promising to act as his conservator-of-morals for a month. They have not been out of the courtroom five minutes before they are both tangled up with a lady in distress whom they try to help across a puddle-filled street. Tabloid photographers photograph the reformer in the most compromising positions and situations. Given that premise write your own comedy after the wife has seen the pictures reproduced in the paper. Before the end is reached the police court judge, his wife, and seemingly every man's wife or every woman's husband is mixed up in the plot.
