Billy is out of a job. Mary is impatient of poverty and disgusted with the monotony of married life. Domestic bickering raises the question as to which is the easier job - keeping house or earning a living in the business world. Each is firmly con- vinced that his own job is the harder. To prove it, they agree to exchange jobs for a week. Mary. who has been in business, gets her old position back, and Billy stays at home and makes a heroic stab at keeping house. Then the fun begins and moves along fast and furiously, complicated by the secret love affair of Mary's friend Sally, by the pranks of a pair of pestiferous children, and by the mysterious dis- appearance of a diamond ring. -43-
