Captain Medway, drowned, marries Bones, an undertaker. Shortly thereafter the Captain returns, followed by Cleopatra, a colored lady, who by virtue of a sham marriage, calls him her husband. Each new development causes a series of new shocks, which finally leads George to exclaim to his sister: “Parents! They spring up like mushrooms—we can never be orphans!” During the ensuing struggle to disentangle the complicated domestic imbroglio, Cleopatra finds a mash in Bones.
